exactly. it might be a bit easier to understand if i explain it this way:

instance 	|	num lock led	|	number keys working
---------------	| --------------------- | -------------------------
no key press	|	on		|	no
1st key press	|	on		|	no
2nd key press	|	off		|	no
3rd key press	|	on		|	yes
4th key press	|	off		|	no
5th key press	|	on		|	yes
...

(key press refering to the num lock key)

cheers.
