Screencast #2 exercise #1 - you totally nailed it, wow!
Screencast #2 exercise #2 - excellent! The way I like to explain it is that whenever you set a variable, Ruby first figures out everything to the right of the equals sign, and once it computes that, it sets all that to whatever is on the left of the equals sign.
