Yep, I just checked the book's version again and the difference is clear. Check out the two lines I quoted in my previous post, and look at the corresponding two lines in the book's version. You should see the difference. :) By the way, I like the choice of secret. It lends itself well to a discussion of recursion - how do you live to 99? Live to 98, then be careful. Etcetera. You need just one special case: How do you live to 1? Be born, then be careful. And there you have it, a perfect problem for defining recursion vs iteration, as both can do the job!
