\textbf{How to deal with multi-part problems}
Often, there are several parts in a specific problem. For example, a
-problem with four parts may have parts 0, 11, 12, and 13. For a
+problem with three parts may have parts 0, 11, 12, and 13, where
+part 0, is the part ID reserved for the problem as a whole. For a
general spreadsheet, it is often desirable to sum up all of these
parts, while not knowing how many parts there are as the spreadsheet
is written.
