ok so I need someone to check my work essentially. Is the answer correct? Does it make sense to you?

def add(a, B)/>:
   print "ADDING %d + %d" % (a, B)/>
   return a + b

def subtract(a, B)/>:
   print "SUBTRCTING %d - %d" % (a, B)/>
   return a - b

def multiply(a, B)/>:
    print "MULTIPLYING %d * %d" % (a, B)/>
    return a * b

def divide(a, B)/>:
    print "DIVIDING %d / %d" % (a, B)/>
    return a / b


print "Lets do some maths with just functions!"

age = add(30, 5)
height = subtract(78, 4)
weight = multiply(90, 2)
iq = divide(100, 2) 

print "age: %d, height: %d, weight %d, IQ %d" % (age, height, weight, iq)

#puzzle for the extra credit, type this in anyway

print "here is the puzzle."

what = add(age, subtract(height, multiply(weight, divide(iq, 2))))

print "That becomes what? Can you do it by hand?"

# add(age, subtract(height, multiply(weight, 25)))
# add(age, subtract(height, multiply(205, 25)))
# add(age, subtract(height, 230))
# add(age, subtract(74, 230))
# add(age, 304)
# add(age, 304)
# add = 339

Well no it turns out I was wrong and I still cannot get to the right answer. Here is the new updated code. The answer is -4391 I need to try and get to that answer. has anyone any ideas?

def add(a, B)/>:
   print "ADDING %d + %d" % (a, B)/>
   return a + b

def subtract(a, B)/>:
   print "SUBTRCTING %d - %d" % (a, B)/>
   return a - b

def multiply(a, B)/>:
    print "MULTIPLYING %d * %d" % (a, B)/>
    return a * b

def divide(a, B)/>:
    print "DIVIDING %d / %d" % (a, B)/>
    return a / b


print "Lets do some maths with just functions!"

age = add(30, 5)
height = subtract(78, 4)
weight = multiply(90, 2)
iq = divide(100, 2) 

print "age: %d, height: %d, weight %d, IQ %d" % (age, height, weight, iq)

#puzzle for the extra credit, type this in anyway

print "here is the puzzle."

what = add(age, subtract(height, multiply(weight, divide(iq, 2))))

print "That becomes", what , "Can you do it by hand?"









# add(age, subtract(height, multiply(weight, 25)))
# add(age, subtract(height, multiply(205, 25)))
# add(age, subtract(height, 230))
# add(age, subtract(74, 230))
# add(age, 304)
# add(age, 304)
# add = 339

Your code looks fine. Can't imagine what the issue is.
