ie your first option.  The instruction is a tad ambiguous.  You don't
remove character 2 from the string, and leave characters 1, 3, 4 etc,
which is a technically valid interpretation of the instruction.

Michèle's (quite clever) example is correct. Reusing his example, you
don't want the remaining string to be: TmAterOarinaTmilEnest, which
would be the result using the other interpretation.
