After the instance of QuizActivity is on screen, the user can press the CHEAT! button. When this
happens, an instance of CheatActivity is started – on top of the QuizActivity. These activities exist
in a stack (Figure 5.12).
Pressing the Back button in CheatActivity pops this instance off the stack, and the QuizActivity
resumes its position at the top, as shown in Figure 5.12.

A call to Activity.finish() in CheatActivity would also pop the CheatActivity off the stack.
