Considering how many people expressed repeatedly they didn't know what
was surprising, it wasn't clear at all. 

In general you need to explain these things with your words: code is
good, show code, don't get me wrong, but you need to express your
expectations and how the difference between what happened and what you
expected surprised you.

Both parts, the code and the expression of your thoughts, are really
important to getting help around here :)
