I found the below exercises on the 'net.
I can't figure out how to do 'b'.
Can someone give me some pointers?

"
Using first and rest extract the atom ``jim'' from the following:
a.
(he is dead jim)
b.
(captain (((jim) kirk)))
"

I tried a number of things, but if I leave the basic
phrase alone, it just does not quite divvy up (I
think I can't get the items separated with just 'first' and 'rest'.
Thanks
