Exam week

This week some people had trouble answering on particular question which did recognize correct answers. It turned out to be the small rounding tolerance that's causing troubles. The correct answer is very small (around 10^(-8)) and any errors build up from previous calculations will likely result in more than 20% percent error. It is the first time I saw this kind of problem bothering people.
