I believe that:

[ (falsey condition) or ]* (first truthy condition) or (any condition) 
[ or (any condition) ]*

will return (first truthy condition)

whereas:

(truthy condition) and [ (truthy condition) and ]* (last truthy condition)

will return (last truthy condition)

where "[ clause ]*" represents an optional clause that may be repeated 
any number of times, "any condition" may evaluate falsey or truthy, 
"first" and "last" relate to the position of the condition type in a left 
to right evaluation sequence.
