how does the tester expected them to be spelled?

how about now?

fixed

you can republish the kata now

fixed, thank you

sample tests to be precise, you did not import assert from chai

Oh my! Good spot. I blame the human in the loop. Fixed. Thanks.

True. I changed the description.

The built-in function max does exactly what is required: return 1 as a minimum. However the wording 'max', I thought could be clarified a little bit more: what is required
for specifying the stack would be a bound, that is between 1-->floor(1/10 * n) and 1-->floor(1/2 * length(list_one)). 'With two or more arguments, return the largest argument' is how max is specified in Python's help doc. However, the word 'maximum(floor(1/10n),1)' could be interpreted as a ceiling of 1 or floor(1/10n); so values like 0.9 or 0.8 are permissible. I am talking about the general specification of the problem for someone who is not familiar with the function max(). So I decided to word it as greater(floor(1/10*n),1) to explicitly specify that 1 is a lower-bound.

duplicate issue

I believe numbers like 20 should also fall under this category, as their first and last digits are the same once padded.

You're right. Thank you. I have updated the kata to only cover 3 digit numbers where first and last digit differ by at least one.

Yes and that is because I am a numnnutt who forgot I have to make a fork that have to be approved again.

If you read the question carefully, it says students in graduation status, there is no question of being less than 8 semesters.

Correct. I was 1 off on an index.
Fixed!
