It seemed like it to me, too, but in looking at the other problems in the category it seems not. Must be that simple "double negative" L&K problems like this are everywhere, and just now is this one coming to this site.

Lewis' solution is pretty much equivalent to mine, but the double negative becomes a quadruple negative. An interesting discuccion of this property can be found in TomM's Lost in the Catacombs problem.
