That an exercise on SICP, a Scheme learning book. And there are similar ones for Common Lisp.

Say what? I'm always astounded that people think everyone knows all the acronyms for whatever field they're working in.

While I agree with this attitude towards obscure acronyms, SICP is widely known among those who voluntary enter a site called Hacker News, and it's easily searchable too.
By just googling 'SICP Scheme' the hints are pretty clear...
The book looks awesome, thanks for pointing out, I'll give it a read.
It will change your life. Did for all of us
I forgot. You can do SICP over the web without installing an Scheme interpreter.
The web has a complete enough Scheme interpreter to do and eval the whole book exercises.

Enjoy.
If you want something offline, I can help you to set Chicken (the interpreter), the depending libraries for SICP and Emacs in no time.
