clarify that the no-larger-functions restriction applies only to function definitions; emphasize that the 5 mystery functions do not include Min.2() and Max.2()

(while 2nd on newest and active lists) too self-conscious

The puzzle statement is now more clear about using only numbers as arguments, @Ben Barden, though we could certainly use some (more? i don't recall any) puzzles with functional parameters. If you have an approach that breaks any of this puzzle's conditions, please post nonetheless! I do have working code that follows these conditions straightforwardly and have added to the statement a link to what motivated this puzzle. Incidentally, some MathJax puzzles' solutions actually create functions (\macros) on the fly.

move question up to top of puzzle per @Bass's suggestion, mention puzzle's motivation

| Sep 8, 2020 at 19:46 | comment | added | Ben Barden | Are functions-as-parameters permitted? If not, are you absolutely certain this is solvable? It would be difficult even with them, but it doesn't look solvable to me without them. There's too much complexity to dig through, and not enough resources to do the digging. | |
