With this question, one really has to figure out what is being asked for,
because both answers are kinda right. I say kinda because even with the
priority pumped up to the max, it is still possible for a switch to become
the root (see the archives...I do remember a very long thread debating
this).
I woudl have to say that you have to really dissern what is being asked for,
and try to clarify with the proctor if possible. Beyond that, I wonder if it
would hurt your scoring if you entered BOTH configurations!!!!
