Exactly!
According to the task as per the actual wording stated Chuck's answer
EXACTLY met the requirements.
Since then others have inflicted their own spin on the matter and incited
doubt where none should be.
And we wonder why everyone does not pass the lab the first time.
I know in the past I've been a little clear on using my own preferred method
to perform the task. Given the explicit wording of the task as asked, why
complicate the matter?
