I was inspired me to write a follow up on [nysus|Nysus's] [id://72489|series] of [id://72671|brain] [id://72605|teasers].  So here it goes:
&lt;p&gt;
Here's the code:
&lt;code&gt;
print \\///\\\//;
&lt;/code&gt;
Questions:
&lt;li&gt;Why does it parse and what does it mean
&lt;li&gt;Why does it evaluate to zero
&lt;p&gt;
Now, if you need a hint, look at the bottom of this [id://87253|node].  If these aren't answered by tommorow, I'll post the answers.
