    I think it is necessary to credit problems you are sourcing from other locations.

    There are quite a few katas on here that word for word are taken out of various programming contests where the original problem writes spend MONTHS writing the problems, generating multiple solutions in multiple languages, running through performance analysis and their hard work was not credited.

    It only takes one line to quickly state where you are adapting these problems from.

    Thank you for the suggestions. How do I do that?

    Was this ever done? If no one has started building this kata I can write one to start off in Java.

    Maybe something like this?

    According to the creation myths of the Abrahamic religions, Adam and Eva were the first Humans to wander the earth.

    You have to do God’s job. The creation method must return an array of length 2 containing objects representing Adam and Eva. The first object in the array should be an instance of the class Man. The second should be an instance of the class Woman. Both objects have to be subclasses of Human. Your job is to implement the Human, Man and Woman classes.

    It looks like the java grouping is also causing solutions to not be grouped because of comments...

    I would clean up a few of the minor grammatical errors. If those can get cleaned up I think the kata is good.

    Ohhhhh nevermind. {facepalm}

    I got it.

    Hummmmmm.... I will take another look at what I have. I am not using regex's. (I have not submitted yet because I don't seem to have a correct solution I just can't find what I am missing)

    Hey OverZealous, is it possible that in the process of hansrusten adding more test cases it could have invalidated some solutions? I am curious because I am testing all possible cases that I can think of based off of the current description and my solution is working with all of my test cases but I am failing on some of the "official" ones. Perhaps I am just understanding the kata wrong?

    I would either expand on the description describing specifically what needs to be accomplished or perhaps add the stubbed out construstor and secret number field. With out this information the kata starts off more as a guess and check to figure out what needs to be accomplished rather than trying to actually solve the problem.
