Hi Joe,
Excellent question. Try this.
Object new.
Highlight it and do debug it. Click "Into" to go into the #new method.
Notice the implementation of #new.
You should be able to see there that #initialize is called automatically.
Also for extra points notice what class new is implemented on. What method
should you call to skip initialize?
All the best,
Ron Teitelbaum
