I find it a lot easier to think of multi-dimensional arrays as if they had 
parentheses to show binding of types, like so:

(int[Y])[X] t;

That is, t is an array of size [X] of (arrays of size[Y] of int).  That is, 
when you use one level of [] operators,

t[4]

You get an int[Y].  Then you use another set to strip off the [Y] to get at 
the actual int values.
