Oh! I've been slighted.

Oh dear... has been quite a few years since I wrote this. Trying to remember what I was thinking...

normally:

When a train arrives at a station it stops there for a period of time determined by the length of the train!

So the NOTES part is intended to say this "stoppage-time" rule does not apply when the "start position" by chance happens to be at a station. In that rare case, on the next/first move you will immediately depart the station. So is the description really misleading? At the very beginning the "next move" and the "first move" is the same thing.

I saw something in the discourse that someone changed and I reverted 6yrs ago. But I can't see the history to see the actual changes to the wording.

Probably 90% of my solutions could be categorized as "not a good idea", so those deserve to have very low votes for "Best Practices".... like this one already has.

How will beginners learn about the String Pool unless they see unexpected solutions like this, along with all the user comments explaining why == is NOT a best practice?

yes(char *s) { yes("i agree") };

Approved. Thanks.

Thanks! Have another drink. It can't hurt you.

LGTM. Approved. Thanks!

Approved. Thanks.

If someone really wants to waste their time writing a lot of brute force code to solve my silly Kata, instead of solving it properly with less code, then meh, let them...

It is a victimless crime -- The only casualty is their conscience.

I don't know what you mean. Lines and rotors are input. Input is guaranteed to be sane.
