Yeah the idea of the kyu system is that its "number of degrees away from master".

6kyu is better than 7kyu.

It goes from 8kyu to 1kyu and then up from 1dan to 8dan.

So, don't fear! :-) All right!

I made this Kata for Ruby, somebody has translated to Python, so I'm guessing that's where the formatting issue has come in.

It looks like a PHP-stye associative array: http://php.net/manual/en/language.types.array.php

Similar to Python's dict, just different syntax:

dict = {2: ["1"], 1: ["b", "c"]} 

Is a dict of lists.

this seems to be a key value pair

Congrats!
