This basically means that your code is potentially correct but takes more than 6 seconds to compile and run which is more than the given time i.e. 6 seconds. Basically try and cut the code down into something more smaller and easier for the PC to process and you shouldn't run into this error anymore.

The Kata is wrong. Either you were trying to ask the question- if there are 5 ppl infront of you, which position are you in (6th) - or- you were trying to make the question- from the 8th position from the left there are 5 people infront of the 8th position and from the 9 position from the right there are 2 people towards the right of the 9th position guy.
