I'm gonna have to remember that trick with the sum of cubes. Nice solution too!

I rather enjoyed this Kata!! Nice little Java challenge! Thanks!

Quite a satisfying little Kata if I do say so myself! Thanks!

Awesome kata!! Thanks! All hail the power of regex too! haha

I quite like your solution! I totally overlooked the Matcher class as already being a type of Iterator itself. Thanks for the insight!

Nice solution! I really like how you handled your capture groups with the IntStream! I'm gonna have to try that next time too. ...I also just noticed that the \w includes the underscore!! haha!

I have the same problem...
ping-pong-aaaa-ping-pong-ping-aaaa
expected 'pong' to equal 'ping'

Haha. Thanks for the suggestion :-)

Great to hear :), you're welcome.

Good luck with the next one, it's much tougher. :)

I gotta say, you make fun kata! Thanks! I'm thinking there should be a murder/mystery sequel about Mr. Pong's unexpected disappearance after Mrs. Pong comes home and discovers all her precious porcelain in pieces on the floor!

Fantastic kata! On to the next one! Thanks :)

Finding the right approach can certainly be a challenge, but these are good fun! Keep 'em comin! :) Thanks!

Nice simple solution! I like the way you used the index of the letters for their strength. Wish I would have thought of that! :)

Thanks!

So... the moral of the story is don't be afraid of pigs, or you'll drown?? Haha!!

Fun Kata! Thanks!
