What if....

[Robert Sneidar]

if false and false or true then

becomes:
if (false and false) or true then

becomes:
if false or true then

becomes:
if true then
answer "Got it 4!"

You are thinking of false and true as individual statements and they are not. The whole condition is one statement. 

Or if you like, the ands are one statement, which evaluates to false, and then there is a new statement to evaluate: false or true. Either way it works.
