An exercise needs to be educational.

I have worked in programming for 25 years and during that time I have never use a closure and have never seen one used. I may be harsh in my definitions but to me something that is never used is useless. Teaching people to do useless things is not educational.

Sorry Shawn, but if you're going to claim that anything you haven't seen in
your illustrious 25-year career is useless than the rest of your post isn't
worth reading.
