Unfortunately, this method is neither "static" nor "protected".

Although class methods are often used for the same purposes as static 
methods in Java/C++, they are quite a different animal.

And as Sean pointed out, the protected only applies to the methods 
instance methods of Test, not instance methods of Test's singleton 
class.
