So, it has to do all three commands OR just one. Here is the code I have. I'm sure I have to be close, I just can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.
Then you shouldn't use && and || update: like that: 
( a() && b() && c() ) || e();

does: 
execute a()

if a() returns false execute e() and end.  

if a() returns true execute b()

if b() returns false execute e() and end.

if b() returns true exece c() and end.

so it executes either a() and e(), a() b() and e() or a() b() and c().
