Great Kata! Loved it

What he basically needs is a Performance Tag for the Kata

:-)

One of the best Kata of all time for me and the best part was seeing the simulation in action when debugging :)

Well spotted. You get a bonus point for that :-)

That fire drill test is wrong. In the event of a fire, everyone is suppose to use the stairs.

Fun Kata! Loved it

Thanks bro, Finally did it!

Running your performance test with my solution on CW server:

         987670 function calls (290555 primitive calls) in 0.623 seconds

   Ordered by: standard name

   ncalls  tottime  percall  cumtime  percall filename:lineno(function)
        1    0.000    0.000    0.623    0.623 <string>:1(<module>)

        1    0.000    0.000    0.000    0.000 {method 'disable' of '_lsprof.Profiler' objects}

With my solution, full test suite runs in ~3s. As far as I noticed, n can go up to 12.
If you are getting timeouts for n=0..12, there's some more work for you ;)
