Sub Class and super class

[sonir shah]

  
  class Test
    {
       static void show()
       {
          System.out.println("Show method in Test class");
       }
    }
   public class Q2 extends Test
   {
      static void show()
      {
          System.out.println("Show method in Q2 class");
      }
      public static void main(String[] args)
      {
           Test t = new Test();
           t.show();
           Q2 q = new Q2();
           q.show();
           t = q;
           t.show();
           q =(Q2) t;
           q.show();
      }
  }

Answer :
Show method is Test class
Show method in Q2 class
Show method in Test class
Show method in Q2 class
But in the main, we say : t=q and then t.show(), which means that it should print "Show method in Q2 class." and again in the second case,
we say q=(Q2)t, and then q.show(), which should print "Show method in TestClass."..
Where am I worng??

because it is not 'overridden'.
<quote>
a subclass cannot override methods that are declared static in the superclass. In other words, a subclass cannot override a class method. A subclass can hide a static method in the superclass by declaring a static method in the subclass with the same signature as the static method in the superclass.

instance variables are not 'overridden' either, just in case u might not know
