Added fixed tests for this case and increased the number of random tests.

Fire all the pancakes and send OP to culinary school

Both approved to match the other languages, but the description still need some elaborations to do

Yes but you cook pancakes one side at a time, so its not the number of pancakes you're cooking; it's the number of sides

this kata made me question my cooking knowledge

You are right! Last night I read through the discussions and realized this kata requires some out of the box thinking. I am getting ready to apply the solution I came up with. Hope it works!

Yes, you are missing something.

"expected 4 to equal 3" should not be possible; it takes 2 minutes to fry a pancake. Unless I'm missing something 2 times any integer will always an even number.

I'd argue that in Python and JavaScript, this Kata is impossible to solve with just the sample tests.
All other languages have more examples, which also include unintuitive cases.

I've added some additional tests here:
JavaScript fork
Python fork

This kata (perhaps) needs some kind of warning against the obvious failed logic of the surface expectation. There's a small chance this warning will prevent the repeated rage posts about how a kata that has been solved a thousand times is "impossible" to solve.

Then again, maybe it won't.

Your self-assurance is admirable. It is also unreasonable.

Yes i agree the kata is flawed for this. I commented this and others replied telling me i was wrong but i am certain the kata is flawed
