Total Points

We want to set the total points for the final exam to exactly 500. We
have a certain number of questions already made, but we haven't
decided on point allocations. We need to change the point allocations to
arrive at the 500 points. The allocations must be between the minimum
and maximum suggestions. Calc questions must be worth at least 2
more points than T/F and Mult. VBA questions must be worth at least 5
more points than Calc. All allocations must be whole numbers.
