What is the problem?

Recovering Older Versions of a File exerciese in the lesson has an answer that does not correspond to the question. Correct solution says it is both 2 and 4 that are correct but explanation says that 2 is not what we want. My guess is this is just a number mismatch and the correct answer should either say 3 and 4 are correct or reorder the items in the question.

Hi, thanks for catching this. I think the incorrect sentence is Answer 2 uses HEAD to indicate the latest. This does not mean that that answer is wrong. It's explaining why there are two different solutions, however it is not true that it uses HEAD. It _is_true that answer 3 is not correct, for the reason explained there.
