.hashCode() problem

Wouldn't mary.hashCode() != frank.hashCode();

return true because mary.hashCode; returns 644166etc and frank.hashCode(); returns 182738etc?

Yes, it would, but what's the problem? It says that mary.hashCode() == frank.hashCode() - true?

No, it doesn't. It says mary.hashCode() != frank.hashCode(); //returns false
