Can a convenience initializer call another convenience initializer of the same class?

The last slide of the diagram makes it look like convenience can call convenience of the same class.

Hunter,

Yes, a convenience initializer may call another convenience initializer within the same class. However, keep in mind that as your convenience initializers are calling other convenience initializers, one of those convenience initializers must call a designated initializer at some point within that class.

Hope this helps!
