Sure it does. The first digit of the fourth row (a 3) is in the correct position, the second digit in the second row (a 1) is in its correct position, and the third digit in the fifth row (a 4) is in the correct position. The 3 is to the left of the 1 and 4, the 1 is between the 3 and 4, and the 4 is to the right of both. So is has the first three digits of pi, in the correct order. - Tim

Well, you DID NOT SAY "contains (in order)" in your original formulations -- you JUST said "contains". But it still doesn't matter. You can still do this in a ONE-element list. You can also still do it with a list consisting of ONLY FINITE strings. So the mere fact that a list has what you claim to want it to have here SIMPLY DOES NOT *MEAN* anything, fool.
