Tolerance has been added to the test suite, in addition to removing a problematic case.

Unrecognized function or variable 'tolerance'.

I have updated the test suite to manually check the tolerance.

I find it weird that the way Grant defined tolerance as a variable and
used it for individual test cases works fine for some solutions but doesn't for other solutions. And this particular error has occurred on other problems as well.
