I missed that as well.  Given that his example automata is written for
"most significant", I assume that the word "least" was a typo, rather
than his example.

I don't see that at all.  My solution for MSB-first was pretty
straightforward.  In fact, it was by far the shortest solution for a
'Hard' quiz ever.

However, I would need an entirely different approach for a LSB-first
problem.  I guess that would qualify as a hard quiz.

We can discuss this more in another 1 day 5 hours 37 seconds (as the
third easy quiz tells me).
