 \section*{Coursework 7 (Scala, Knight's Tour)}
 
-This coursework is worth 10\% and is due on 21 November at 11pm. You

-finding a tour such that the knight visits every field on the
-chessboard once. One a $5\times 5$ chessboard, a knight's tour

+the knight visits every field on a $n\times n$ chessboard once. For
+example on a $5\times 5$ chessboard, a knight's tour is as follows:
