Joined 18 Dec '03 Moves 16687 Well, it could be 2. I don't know if there's enough information to be able to say for sure.

The order is important.

The order is important. Ten.
But 2 is a correct answer, too, for the question as first, imprecisely, stated.

10 is correct.

10 is correct. I dispute your interpretation of the word "correct". If you'd used "desired", or "Mgt.-mandated", you'd have been right. But given the problem
as stated in your first post , 2 is exactly as correct as 10 - if not more so.
