National Security Administration version

It is now 2005 and you work (although you can neither confirm nor deny it) for a super-secret division of the National Security Agency. Your boss tells you that they will be able to generate essentially unbreakable cryptographic codes if they were able to 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.
