^^ this was a deliberate error, honest... obviously this *will not* work unless you strip that 11, either from the seq or here.
Ok that is a whole lot neater than my option (even with the mistake)
Wasn't it Babbage that used to put deliberate errors in his plans to foil those who tried to copy him ?
IIRC from random television, that Da Vinci character also deliberately built in faults in many of the designs for his inventions to make sure that the people that wanted to use them would actually pay him for his inventions. So, the designs they got to decide wether or not it was a good idea where deliberately flawed in order to stop the goits just stealing it ;)
And, of course, at least I quickly pointed out the mistake (and added another variant, JIC ;)
