Research direction
Read the functions episode at episodes/04-reusable.md, especially the linked exercise. Evaluate how to replace the off-topic math with a social-science context while preserving the self-contained, two-part structure about returning one versus many values. Done means the exercise is context-appropriate without requiring unrelated programming knowledge.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
the exercise in the functions episode has learners compute math that's not on topic. It is a good exercise in that it is self contained, requires no unrelated programming knowledge, and the 2 part-nature: it allows them to think about the idea of returning one vs many values in a function.
this is a good place for a social scientist to comment.
