Oops. there was a typo in that one. Now fixed. Not good.

What's this "cheating" thing? It doesn't say that you can't stop to look up
the answers, do the test multiple times, or even try to hack the system in
other ways.

And whilst it was intended to be a little tricky (partly by being obscure in
places) I didn't realise how tricky it actually seems to be.
