Note that -indexOfObject: returns an object from the array that is -isEqual: to 
the parameter. This might not be the same object that you are looking at. 

-indexOfObjectIdenticalTo: would solve the -isEqual: problem, but would still 
return the wrong index if the same object were in the array twice.

You should add a counter to your for..in loop, or use a traditional counted for 
loop and -objectAtIndex:.
