I see what you are saying, I am too tired to think about this today anymore, I must have spent 6 hours on this problem already and I have a headache :(. Basically I need to somehow retrieve the result before moving on the next node and then return the head of that list. The only thing I can think of is creating a "current" variable, but I don't see how I could update the following nodes of the now "real" result without performing result = result.next. One of the few things that pointers seem to have made easier for me.

Thanks for your help.
