! I've defined largest-value as:

! : largest-value ( a b x -- v )
!     '[ _ nCk _ <= ] find-last nip ;

! ...this gives the desired result of 4. I was hoping to make it into a binary
! search to make things faster, but it has to find the largest value 'v' that
! is less than 'a', and so that Choose(v,b) is less than or equal to x


! The binary search is almost working as planned written as:

! : largest-value ( a b x -- v )
!     '[ _ nCk _ >=< ] search nip ;

! ...but for some reason when the function is compiled, it returns 2, and when
! run in the listener, it returns f. Not sure why there's an inconsistency
