3 years later, and it's still worded in a confusing way. Also, the mathematics appear to use non-standard symbols.
The example gives (1 XOR 7) % 2 = 3. So 1 XOR 7 is 6, but 6 mod 2 gives 0. So apparently they mean integer division when using the % sign??? Who does that??
Edit: Oops, never mind. Re-read it once again, and they do go with 6 mod 2 = 0. But the zero is then used as an index into array1 (3,5), and LastAnswer is set to that. That's where the 3 comes from. Okay, I think I understand it well enough to start programming finally.
