The tutorial was good up until step 7, then the line:

> let villain = (28,"chirs") in fst villain

Made no sense at all.  I get it returns 28, but it's confusing what's going 
on, why the need for a variable (I assume villain is a variable name?).  I 
would have thought that writing 'fst (28,"chirs")' would be the thing to do 
to return 28? (I guess that fst returns the first element of a list?)

A lot of guessing and confusing on my part without much explanation...
