Hardest Kata ever (in BF)

I got caught up on the .name haha

Love a good cypher

As with others I took a bit of time to get q1 and q3 right, but I'm just bad at reading long descriptions and went with the wikipedia definition instead of the hint outlined in the kata. Overall this was a nice kata and I enjoyed it.

yep , that checks out. ty for info

I don't know what to say except that you're just wrong. Furthermore, you justify your position (twice) with "opinion". Correctness isn't a matter of opinion, though.

For example, in a rectangle 14x20, you find the square 14 (good), but then with the remaining 14x6 rectangle, you somehow conclude that the next square is 9. No idea where you get that number from.

This is not an issue. Please revisit your logic.

In my opinion this kata has a lot correct answers. it should be corrected or disabled.
Example of "wrong" solutions compared to what I got (IMHO my solutions are cleaner):

EXAMPLE 1
my solution : [ 14, 9, 1, 1, 1 ]
correct solution : [ 14, 6, 6, 2, 2, 2 ]

EXAMPLE 2
my solution : [ 9, 4, 1, 1 ]
correct solution : [ 9, 2, 2, 2, 2, 1, 1 ]

EXAMPLE 3
my solution : [ 155, 51, 5, 3 ]
correct solution : [ 155, 17, 17, 17, 17, 17, 17, 17, 17, 17, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 1, 1 ]

and my favourite
my solution : [ 19, 4, 1, 1, 1 ]
correct solution : [ 19, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1 ]

I don't think I solved this in the intended way

Only took me a few minutes but the solution felt very satisfying.

Hey that was great. Took a while to understand what was being asked though, I'm not very good at reading long descriptions.

I've found bitwise operators really useful in the past for storing booleans and it was fun working out how to do this one.

Glad I did all those regex katas so I can unnecessarily use regex for things like this.
