Once again, notice that both of your arguments are of recursively- 
defined types (a whole number and a list, respectively), so you need  
to look at Chapter 25 of _Picturing Programs_ (http:// 
picturingprograms.com/download/chap25.pdf), or Chapter 17 of _How to  
Design Programs_ (http://htdp.org/2003-09-26/Book/curriculum-Z- 
H-22.html#node_chap_17).
