And analysis of the consolidated MSC1,2,3 switch file, reveals the remaining test calls were not recorded by any of the MSCs, so it is possible there could be a hidden switch, so answer C = true. Therefore, the right answer is D = (A+B+C).
The next LTT will be published on Monday 19th August.
Congrats to everyone who got the answer correct! (I know I wouldn’t have.)
I like how LTT appeals to people across the world. To my mind, the best kind of validation comes from seeing how a smart guy in South Africa is independently arriving at the same conclusions as another smart guy in India, or the Americas, or wherever. Lee’s doing a great job as quizmaster, but I’m also thinking that everyone who submits an answer is providing really useful feedback. Thanks to you all, and keep up the good work :)
