Subject: help on inheritance and class methods pls?

Hi there,

Hoping someone explain this to me as I'd like to understand it properly.
I've been reading about Ruby's metaclasses, but I don't get this:

class Test
   def foo
     puts "in foo"
   end
end
=> nil

class Test2 < Test
  def self.bar
    foo
  end
  def method_missing(name, *args)
    puts "in method_missing"
  end
end
=> nil

> Test2.new.bar
in method_missing
=> nil
> Test2.new.foo
in foo
=> nil

why does invoking method bar on the instance find class Test2's
method_missing instance method, but not instance method foo inherited
from class Test?

Thanks for any help!
