You're pretty close with that!

The local integer variables apparently default to 0 if you have not used them before, so you can get away with just get-ing them from 0 onward unless you need them to start higher.

That column of if's is exactly what it looks like, as well. If the player hits the wrong one at any point, that one will not trigger the if statement. Say you light up candle 3 first. It will look at it and essentially think, "Is this candle 3, and have we lit up 2 candles before it?" (Or depending on perspective, "Is this candle 1, and did we light up 0 others before it?"). Since the total candles lit before it would be 0, but its candle 3, that would be a big 'no', and correct hits would be less than total.

So pretty much, you got it.
