Why is superclass method called while that method is overriden? (from OCA practice test)

From question three in these OCA practice questions (pdf):

abstract class Writer {
   public static void write() {
      System.out.println("Writing...");
   }
}

class Author extends Writer {
   public static void write() {
      System.out.println("Writing book");
   }
}

public class Programmer extends Writer {
   public static void write() {
      System.out.println("Writing code");
   }
   public static void main(String[] args) {
      Writer w = new Programmer();
      w.write();
   }
}

The output is Writing....

I don't understand why. As Programmer overrides Writer's write method, I thought it should call the method in Programmer and not in Writer.

Why?

You have to understand two points here.

There is no overriding concept in case of static members. They are simply static and never change based on instance.

And static members bind to class rather than instance. So no matter what is the instance, they look the type they got called and execute.
