I think I understand monads—I'll likely never try Haskell to fin
d out for  

sure.
I'm pretty sure I understand currying—at least as far as it goes
 in Python.

But I don't understand how any of these are taking a 5 argument function
,  

passing it 2 arguments, and getting a 3 argument function as a result.
