No offense taken, now that you solved it, do you have a suggestion about how would it be clearer?

I was able to figure it out eventually. I mean no offense, it's just not clear when you first read it and look at the examples. But I completed it.

What's the difference between 3 for the price of 2 and buy 3, pay 2 get 1 free? The examples are clear imho. For every 3 mangoes you buy, you only pay 2 and get 1 free.

@Chrono79 It's just generally confusing and not well explained. I would consider re-writing the entire desription and making the examples more clearly match the description. It is still confusing.
Like, is it 3 for the price of 2, or are there free mangoes involved or what? It's just too vague.

What's what you don't understand?

Yeah I stared at it for five minutes before giving up and reading the comments. Even the 'examples' don't clarify much. I think I'll be skipping this kata.

Check again.

Yes, probably. Here they have all kind of "3 for 2", "the second at half price" and many more.

I though of adding the $ sign to the examples, but I don't know if that would be better or not:

mango(2, 3) ==> 6    # 2 mangoes for $3 = $6; no mango for free
mango(3, 3) ==> 6    # 2 mangoes for $3 = $6; +1 mango for free
mango(5, 3) ==> 12   # 4 mangoes for $3 = $12; +1 mango for free
mango(9, 5) ==> 30   # 6 mangoes for $5 = $30; +3 mangoes for free

Seeing the examples again, if you buy 2, you don't get one free, see the first example. Only if you grab 3, you get one of those free.

"Buy 2 mangoes get one free" is misleading too. One of those 2 is free? I think pay 2 and get one free is closer to what is asked. But because I'm not a native english speaker, I don't know what's the usual way of writing that. Is "3 for 2" really that strange?

IMO it could fit into either of those levels. it's much easier than most level 5 katas.

what kyu should it be? 6, 7?

Updated the description to be hopefully clearer:
