I was looking at the source code to the which(1) command (apt-get source which = which-2.14 ).
Just to add, the which(1) command installed on my Debian system is working correctly -- but only when I build which(1) from the source package:
Filename: pool/main/w/which/which_2.14-4_i386.deb
I just want to be clear that I'm understanding Linux perms correctly.

If that is correct, (it makes a lot of sense) then I think I'm going to blame my misconception on 1) VMS as my first multi-user OS experiance and their 'world' flag and 2) lots of bad documentation. I probably ought to blame it on myself for not proving to myself what all the different file permissions do. Out of habit (and not correct knowledge) I've given user execute when I give it to group or other, and group execute when I give it to other.
File permissions: -r--r--r-x whoami => jacob groups => jacob audio
user.group jacob.jacob ./t => sh: permission denied root.jacob ./t => sh: permission denied root.root ./t => Hello world
So, either everything else is wrong, or the author of which had made an assumption about other being 'world' like I had made.
