The idea
Counting backwards from Z is easier with the position numbers than with the letters themselves.
Shortcut. Take every other letter going back from Z: after T, skip S and land on R.
Common trap. S — the letter just before T, forgetting to skip one; the step is − 2, so S is jumped over and R is next.
