With bucket.Cursor().Last(), you get the last key and value pair in a []byte. The key is convertible to uint64 with binary.BigEndian.Uint64([]byte) since it has been saved as a []byte representation of the uint64 returned from bucket.NextSequence() in the Add method.
The number returned by the last key is then used to get to the starting position from which to fetch the last N elements of the list using bucket.Cursor().Seek(startPos). bucket.Cursor().Next() returns either the next key and value pair or a nil key if the last k/v pair has been reached.
