it ensures that the given input is a perfect square. a number with decimals will not return true using that if statement.

why would you even do 626?
question has asked the next perfect square means 676.
I don't know what are you trying to ask or may be I am dumb :<

You can do O(n^2) time.

If the array elements are not random (you know the range of common difference to expect), you can do O(n) time

Fixed.

The function name shouldn't be changed in the description.

Done

The reference solution can be seen in error messages.
The import shouldn't be in Preloaded.

your Test Cases and Sample Test Cases are reversed

Changed find_intercept to find_time_to_break.
Function name didn't make sense. Solution isn't to find the intercept, this was a throwback to an earlier idea I had.

that, they will know about. But despite of this, you could send negative values or greater than 359 (needing a modulo), even if that doesn't really make sense.

Agree. Clarified in the description. (People are going to struggle if they dont already know the range of degrees possible in a circle though)

last thing: you could add to the description a note about the range of the inputs.

2 -> mmmmh... :/ as long as you're askig for float values (double, in java), you should find a representation of infinity in the language. Ruby, java, JS have it, I guess you'll find it in the other ones too. Tho, -1 would be universal,without question, yes. Voile, what's your opinion on this?
4 -> nice XD

and you're welcome (some seems to disagree on this... I'll bet on our dear Alex... :p )

1. Changed. Good catch.
2. Implemented float('inf'). I am concerned that this would be harder to translate into other languages. Thoughts?
3. Done. Will have a 5% chance of appearing in each of the 50 tests. If this edge case doesn't get captured, it will force a test.
4. Just for everyone to appreciate : this is not a misspelling, it's an atttempt at breezy humor. Cod is a fish, this Kata is about cod fishing (didn't say it was a good humor). Would be a shame to remove it IMO, it adds character and eases people up to a problem outside of most people's comfort zone. If this really does aggrevate people, it can be changed.
5. Good catch. Changed.
6. Slept on it and I agree. Changed.

Also, changed the random tests to between 0 and 359 degrees. ( Was 0 and 180)
Really appreciate your involvement on this Blind4Basics
