    Thanks to those of you who appreciate this question.

    To those who think it had unnecessary "tricks" in it, I did try several variants of this question and they all ended up being too easy.

    The "tricks" were deliberate and designed to check whether you would notice the implicit conversion and whether you even knew it would happen.

    If you don't like the question, I am sorry - for those that like to be challenged to check every small detail I think it provides a sufficient level of complexity to give you a good challenge!

    Have a nice day!

    I got this one right because I'm always looking for a trick. That's a general problem with the QOTD. Too many of the questions have some trick in it so when there is a straight-forward question without a trick, I find myself looking for one anyway.
