I see where the problem lies in my thinking. I went looking for a single 
line solution for the whole string. If I had constructed a for loop and 
tried to reduce it to a single line, I *may* have understood the 
relationship between the different parts. Or maybe not. Blaming the 
documentation is a lot easier. ;)
