Military industrial complex version

It is now 2005 and you work for a major satellite manufacturer. Your boss tells you that the government is not satisfied with spy satellites that are only capable of reading license plates on cars from space. What they really want are satellites that can read the little registration tags that should be replaced each year so that they can monitor whether or not everyone's registration fees are up to date. They would be able to improve the resolution of their image monitoring equipment if they could find the maximum value of the function
for values of x, y and z all between 0 and 10 (inclusive). You do not have to find the values for x, y and z exactly, but you do need to find them to within 0.01.

Some old code is available that may be modified to solve this problem. To run the code as it is, you will also need three more files.
