I solved all the test cases except for the first one... His stubs add 3.6 extra cigarettes but the solution requires us to add 4. How does he get an extra cigarrette out of 0.6? That doesn't make sense. Unless I'm doing something wrong, we should rounding down and not up. Frustrating.

For those having trouble with this one; literally follow the steps provided in the description. It's laid out exactly how you should code it. I struggled with it for a while trying to use indexing before I took a step back and realized that they lay out every step, including variable and boolean assignment. Hopefully this helps anyone having issues.

This should be at least a 6 kyu.

I really hope the author of this kata doesn't format functions like this on a regular basis...

Okay. I made a mistake when I wrote "2 minutes each side" when I meant 2 minutes per pancake. If you're suggesting that you eat half cooked pancakes and that's "thinking outside of the box" then I'm even more frustrated with the wording and expectations of this kata. This kata needs to be reworded with a clearer explaination.

If you're trying to cook as many "cutlets" as possible so you get to "n" quickest; why would you ever have empty space in the pan? This is the part that doesn't make sense. Any sort of "trick question" type of solution really shouldn't apply to a 7 kyu kata, regardless of my humility.

Nope. I'd recommend people spending their valuable time on kata that are worded correctly and make logical sense. If pancakes take two minutes for each side then you should never have an expected result be an odd number. I don't see how you can defend this.

This kata is frustratingly dumb. I solved it with correct logic but the test cases don't make any logical sense. Way too frustrating for a simple problem. Complete waste of time.

Way too difficult for a 7 kyu with the test cases provided. I solved the kata in 3 different ways but they were too slow and timed out even when using a single for-loop. Pretty frustrating and felt like a waste of my time.
