Thanks for the feedback - much appreciated!

Loved this kata very much, thank you!

was is all that long?

less than one third of a day

that is not too bad

Thanks! Sorry it took so long.

Hi brodiemar. Good job. Good kata. Cheers

Hi mr1cz,

I believe I have fixed it in the new translation. Please check if your solution passes.

Thanks,

brodiemark

I must say I'm not sure what's going on. Both the Python and C# versions expect ['Q']. I don't know why the Java one expects ['K'], the code is very similar. Also, it seems to be the only test case with the wrong result. Another mysterious fact is that somebody else submitted a Java solution which was accepted, so they also got ['K'].

I thought it would be a easy fix, but it's not. Maybe I'm overlooking something simple, but I don't know. I will continue to work on it, but I'm not sure how long it will take. I really apologize for this. And unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be any way of temporarily unpublishing the translation while I work on it.

Strange - I will take a look

java. Bishop is closer to King than Queen.
P -> R -> N -> B -> K -> Q.
Why expected K?

Why did you approve this kata?

it's a good kata

Your own solution doesn't even always pass the tests. Didn't you consider that maybe the verification method is not correct?

I found a mistake. Can I fix it or should author do it?

I think it's best to raise an issue for this kata. I have so many questions! see what happens :)

I really love the simplicity of this solution.
However - I tested it with this input: new int[][] {{10, 11}, {1, 8}, {6, 9}, {5, 7}})
and it returns 4 - note {10, 11} does not overlap with any other request - the result should be 3.

Am I missing something?
