Page 31, final paragraph reads:

If you had 3 elements, you’d need up to 3steps. For 7 elements, you’d need a maximum of 3 steps. For 100 values, you’d need up to 100 steps

The middle sentence should read for 7 elements you’d need a maximum of 7 steps.

You are correct - thanks for catching that! Will be fixed in a future version.
