Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer A
Correct answer: A
Explanation
Removing @, #, %, & and = leaves: K 7 R 3 E 9 M U 2 B 6 A T 4 H.
Counting from the right: H (1st), 4 (2nd), T (3rd), A (4th), 6 (5th), B (6th).
So the 6th element from the right is B.
Worth noting
A is the 6th from the right in the original arrangement; the removed symbols shift the count. Rewrite the shortened arrangement before counting.
