[Year 12 SofDev] CSE/IARTV SD exam - question C4c

[Mark KELLY]

The C4c question expects students to find the logical error relating to the
odd/even digit logic mixup, but there's another big logical problem with the
pseudocode that several of my kids detected.

The "Total = Total + 2 * digit" line is adding the digit times 2 (e.g.
7*2=14) instead of adding the individual *digits* of the calculation (1,4)
so the total is way off !

My better kids found that error and didn't deign to mention the bleeding
obvious one that they were intended to find.  I gave them bonus marks  :-)
