I don't think it's ok that some test cases exceed 1MB (while still allowing plenty of incorrect solutions) .. and it's kind of silly that thousands of people use only a couple handfulls of names as well.

Question: Is O a ssoss?

Issue1: this is not tested (python), specifically that a daughter comes before the seven sons

Issue2: description is vague on what the result should be

{
    "name": "A",
    "gender": "male",
    "children": [
        {"name": "BBBB", "gender": "female", "children": []},  # <- a first female child followed by 7 male. allowed?
        {"name": "B", "gender": "male", "children": []},
        {"name": "C", "gender": "male", "children": []},
        {"name": "D", "gender": "male", "children": []},
        {"name": "E", "gender": "male", "children": []},
        {"name": "F", "gender": "male", "children": []},
        {"name": "G", "gender": "male", "children": []},
        {
            "name": "H",
            "gender": "male",
            "children": [
                {"name": "I", "gender": "male", "children": []},
                {"name": "J", "gender": "male", "children": []},
                {"name": "K", "gender": "male", "children": []},
                {"name": "L", "gender": "male", "children": []},
                {"name": "M", "gender": "male", "children": []},
                {"name": "N", "gender": "male", "children": []},
                {
                    "name": "O",
                    "gender": "male",
                    "children": [],
                },
            ],
        },
    ],
}

there is still this rather confusing "tip":

For a seventh son to be a seventh son, there must not be any daughters in the line leading to him. There may be daughters after him, though.

which I don't think my solution adheres to, I'm on a phone though so I struggle to figure out what's what

and uh, https://www.codewars.com/kata/reviews/5a15fed357f0af5e19001946/groups/683984554f242c9c07583249 looks to me like it allows 9th child starting with 2 female to count as 7th but I guess that gets to pass? haven't tested it though. and that might be correct but it's not what mine does and that should be tested.

As a new python developer, this solution helped me immensely. Thank you.

It's been so hard for 6kyu =)

Fixed (8 years later :D)

Great kata to learn dynamic programming, especially to exercise recursion with.

Hi I'm new here and i need someone to guide me in coding

nice

wow, it's clever

Python:

• New test framework should be used

• Unnecessary logs should be removed and replaced with it blocks

• test.expect should be revamped

• Missing corresponding imports

Hi, I passed two of the tree test cases. However, for the test case "DAM", my function says the shift is 8, but it's supposed to be 7. I don't know how to debug this. Why am I off by one, only for this particular test case? Thanks for your help!

From the description:

fib(10)
fib.call_count == 177 # True
fib(10)
fib.call_count == 344 # True

Actually that should be 354.
