I've been staring at this for hours but I do not get how the pattern works at all.

The problem is from this website.

It's not that I'm an idiot, I think there's something wrong with the pattern!

OK but what do you think is wrong with the pattern, and which pattern are you talking about?
Unless you can specifiy these things it is impossible to help you.
 
It works the way it's described in the text. I don't think I would have ever gotten it without it though.
 
I got it after a while. Thanks for the attention guys. :)
