There appears to be a typo in the explanation for answer (A). The list was not comprised of students.

Hey Tom,

Yup. There's a typo alright.

Should read:
"If there were lots of experienced *candidates* on the list, then why on earth would the students choose someone inexperienced?"

Look for the updated text to be included in the next update.

Thanks.
