"Most students stopped at f(x)=x. However, the official marking scheme awards 5/7 points for that. To get full points, you must prove that f is injective for all powers of 2, and you must explicitly rule out the pathological case where f(1)=0 leading to f(x)=0 for all x. Additionally, the domain Z+ excludes zero; 20% of students lost 2 points by testing n=0, which is invalid."
