[Tutor] writing a function

[Christopher Spears]

This is a programming problem that I have been given:

Write a function that accepts an arbitrary number of
lists and returns a single list with exactly one
occurrence of each element that appears in any of the
input lists.

For some reason, this problem has left me stumped. 
Suggestions, anyone?
