Thank you for your answer, and that is exactly what confuses me?
Where does x come from? If I only would read x then I would understand why
it can be found/read but I alter it and as such I either have to provide the
info that this is a global variable, declare it inside of f1 or provide 
the globals dict to exec. But I don't do any of it. Why is exec able to use
the global x?
