(10, 2, [9, 6, 7, 4]) comes out to 'days: 1'
(10, 2, [9, 6, 4, 7]) comes out to 'money: 10'
To me the use of the word 'consecutive' is confusing. To me 1,2,3,4 (n,n+1,n+2,...) are consecutive numbers. If by consecutive do you mean that the numbers retain the same order as in the list,ie, that they should not be sorted, the I think you should state that the hotels are visited in order as shown by their cost, 9->6->7->4, otherwise I get the impression the hotels can be visited in any order.

but we shouldn't be able to obtain 126 any way.

Thanks! Was looking for this.

To me a poor Kata is one where it takes longer to understand the problem than it does to come up with a solution.

Comments would have been nice, however, this is a great solution in my opinion. Especially when compared to the monstrosity I came up with. I am somewhat of a newbie and I could understand the solution. When I see a solution like this I wonder what my mind does during the process of determining the best way to work this.

x2 + y2 = 126

There aren't two integer values, x and y, whose sum of their squares (x2 + y2), equals 126.

How do we show this result? I tried None, [0,0], False, and "False"so far. I must be missing something.

Fixed my program. Thanks for your help.

There is no fixed test with 7 as input in Python. So it must be a random test, but I checked the control function and the expected result for 7 is 0 too. Are you reading the logs ok? The log appears above the test result.

Oh, I get it now. The answers aren't necessarily for every language. Okay. Thanks

Sorry, I do not understand your response. I am programming in Python 3.6 and have no idea whether other languages produce answers that aren't 0.
My results for the initial tests are all correct using Python 3.6 except for the value 7.

I meant why do you ask. Is there a test in some language where the input is 7 and the expected answer isn't 0?

Because 7 is already a one-digit number.

Yes, why?

Shouldn't 7, since it is one digit (like 4) produce 0 as an answer?
