Grading:
There will be three to four exercises which determine the final grade.
You need to do all of them.
These exercises are open-ended: they pose a question, and you are
expected to work towards an answer.
If you actually find an answer, that's great.
If you don't its also OK, provided you make an intelligent effort.
But the range of 95-100 is reserved for cases of special merit.
