If at first you don't succeed, go to the pub and drink away your current thought plan.

Very good question, and an awesome explanation. (Apart from one small type that you probably put in deliberately to prove that you're still human).
Thanks, Tom!

Great question Tom, with a couple of wee pitfalls to lead the unwary, fortunately I had remembered my wits today. Superb explanation too.

Yes, I saw the NULL issue immediately, and then hit one of the checkboxes. Didn't even stop chewing my breakfast to contemplate datatype precedence. Nicely posed and explained.
Please don't go. The drones need you. They look up to you.
