Thanks for the question, Jason.
I only got it right because "3, 3, 1" was not in the answer options - that was the answer I was looking for after reading the question.
I was in the same position. While I understand Paul's explanation, and the links provided, it does still seem a bit counterintuitive, as you point out in a later post.
Thanks to OP for posting. Always good to learn something new.
Please don't go. The drones need you. They look up to you.

Good question.
And a lovely additional twist from Paul.

I got it right simply because I once supported an app that had a myriad of situations with and without trailing spaces on a VARCHAR column and have seen that behavior countless times. I have never been able to explain it. Still don't know if I can, even with the "explanation". It still doesn't make sense, but that's how it works...

Great question -- especially the quirk involved when using 'LIKE'.
Thanks!

Thanks for all of the compliments everyone.
I ran into this scenario and as it seemed contradictory to common sense to me, I figured I'd see if I was the only one who thought that.
Given 2/3 rds of responders got it wrong, I guess not.
