Problem Set #4

Problems 2.5b (10 points) and 2.7 (20 points), due Thursday 9/29.

For 2.7, if you aren't familiar with the song under discussion, it is this one:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Twelve_Days_of_Christmas_(song)

Please don't read the whole article--all we care about is the structure of the lyrics. (Search for "structure" in the article).

Thanks to Lucia for pointing out the link. I suppose most of the class knows the song, which can be hard to escape from at a certain time of year.
