I have the same problem - able to pass 100,000 big numbers and not the lower random tests. I noticed that the signs are the same for those tests, whereas the signs are always - and + for the largest random test. Any hints on how to solve the off-by-one errors?

That was one hell of a Kata, had it open for about 2 weeks and finally finished it today. Was just a case of wrangling with a certain algorithm which shall not be named to get it to work efficiently. Also using numpy arrays instead of lists.

best practices for sure

WTF

You have to use the results of the encoder to reverse engineer it and write a corresponding decoder. The example inputs are to give you some helpful insights into how the encoder actually works.

poo

Hardest Kata ever (in BF)

I got caught up on the .name haha

Love a good cypher

As with others I took a bit of time to get q1 and q3 right, but I'm just bad at reading long descriptions and went with the wikipedia definition instead of the hint outlined in the kata. Overall this was a nice kata and I enjoyed it.

yep , that checks out. ty for info

I don't know what to say except that you're just wrong. Furthermore, you justify your position (twice) with "opinion". Correctness isn't a matter of opinion, though.

For example, in a rectangle 14x20, you find the square 14 (good), but then with the remaining 14x6 rectangle, you somehow conclude that the next square is 9. No idea where you get that number from.

This is not an issue. Please revisit your logic.
