Gwiji; Thank You.
Solved it.

I was receiving the same error but found my way around it. Hope you received help. I realized what was causing the wrong output was the fact that i was using the zero rank in my computations instead of skipping it. Hope this helps anyone who faces the same in the future.

✘ After applying rank of 1 the resulting user rank was expected to be -2, but was actually 1: 1 should equal -2

someone make sense of this

I ignored the back slash \ when I created my method and it worked fine, but I do have an issue passing the last test.
It seems that the test is returning the incorrect result.

I am a little bit familiar with classes.

And I'm talking about "Code Usage Examples" part in the (Python 2) kata description.

you have to be little bit familiar with classes
what kata wants is us to make a method for inc_progress that accepts one element

Hi!! Thanks so much for your response, I understand the problem now!!! I will code it when I come home.
And I am so sorry that I have marked it as an issue, I will try to be more careful in the future.

Thanks again!!! (and sorry)

Each "troop" has a specified value (in the description), you don't just add it up

Read the Kata description fully if you have a problem with a Kata.

kcode11 gave you the answer to your issue literally one comment below yours:

Just so everybody understands Kata right; the string is not a bool list of which fighter is present, it is a count of how many of those fighter are present (in ranking order).

Please don't mark as an issue if you aren't sure of the problem.

Example:

    0 0 1 1 1 0        /  0 0 0 0 0 0 1
Elf + Dwarf + Eagle    /  Wizard
 3  +   3   +   4      /    10
       10              /    10


10 == 10 therefore it is a draw
