Just for the record, the "number of" function works properly as it did 
in HC and MC: the number of items in "1,2,3,4," is 4. So it looks like 
the problem is only in the math functions.

However, look at this:

   put min(1,2,3,4,) --> 0
   put min("1,2,3,4,") --> 1

Maybe all you have to do is add quotation marks.
