I think you could help yourself by reading a good tutorial or two ...
so far, the problems you've raised suggest quite strongly that you
either aren't reading the code with anything like the care that you
need to, or just don't understand Python at all.

Hint: if the offending line were written like this, would it be more
obvious what's wrong?

  beans, jars, crates = secret_formula(start - point)

 -[]z.
