We compute a few verses of the Bottles of Beer song using Method paragraphs as both producers and consumers of data values.
First we define some quantities through givens and simple operations on them.
99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall -1 Take One Down Pass it Around SUM Bottles of Beer on the Wall -1 Take One Down Pass it Around SUM Bottles of Beer on the Wall
Then we retrieve values following wiki-centric scoping rules and continue the calculation.

Beer Constants
We can retrieve values from some data objects. For example, we can retrieve the first row of a dropped csv by citing the column header of the desired value.
We parametrize the last few verses of our song by citing a data for a Few or a Bunch of bottles. This is the fast way to get this tedious song finished.

Note: More likely computations will be spread among a number of related pages. The computation performed will depend on the selection of pages and the order they appear.
Caution: We have yet to make the order of operations within methods reliably deterministic. If you see errors or unexpected values try refreshing the page.
We recreate in video the calculation refactoring example from the open source conference and invite viewers to try it themselves.
