Outstanding!

I have been going nuts trying various combinations of quotes, brackets,
backslashes,... Good to know that I am not (totally) crazy.

I like your use of the array as well; much cleaner than the multiple
comparisons.

Thanks,
brew

Bluh it's a bug in lon-capa.

Got a fix though it'll be on educog later today.

(The bug is that it's doing something stupid when you say
stores_PART_tries several times in the expression.)

For instance this work around works right now:

    %a = ( '1' => 6,
           '2' => 2,
           '3' => -4,
           '4' => -12,
           '5' => -12,
           '6' => -12,
           '7' => -12);
    [&EXPANDSUM(PART;$a{stores_PART_tries})];
