Is the "algorithm" that simple tree at the end? Really confusing

It's most likely a trained decision tree with binary output.

Trained in what way? I'd have thought this was just a hard-coded DT, it's multiple-choice questions all the way down

Maybe it is to bring about it's simplicity, or a sarcastic tounge-in-cheek jab at it. The word "algorithm" doesen't really distinguish it's complexity in any way. It's just a sequence of steps.
