Try switching between C# 10 and C# 12, one of these should work.

I will take a look later why the non-working version is available, it should not.

I'm not sure how to answer this, other than to say they did.

(edit) It's been a few months since I solved this, I see your objection now. I believe I solved this assuming all shoe sizes (per foot) were distinct. Reviewing my solution, this is not a safe assumption and adding tests with duplicated sizes may aid in weeding out false positive solutions.

Looks like sample tests expect uint as argument, but Attempt tests expect int. You should modify line 9 static void Act(uint expected, uint n) to static void Act(uint expected, int n), and you should raise this as an issue with the kata :P

Changing the return type to long is insufficient, but required. (unless you're really lucky with tests?)
You must also cast the long to int, as some random tests expect the overflow value.

The c# solution is currently not solvable without this realization.

Because the prefix need to be ignored, read again the last paragraph.

Hi ah2023,

When I try your solution it passes all the tests, so I can't reproduce the issue. But in general, if you print out the customers variable at the top of your code, you should be able to see what causes any failing test.

what about there being the Et-sign at the start of the string? When it appears like this, it isn't replaced?

Hi. You are not quite right about how you perform the conversion. I'm facing the same problem.
The rule says that "A letter with adjacent letters j and t is not converted." Accordingly, the transformed sequence looks like this: jptddwd

0 + 3 + 0 + -2 + -2 + 4 + -2 => 1, therefore answer is "Left side wins!"

Agreed.

Me too, I'm using python and I acctually went through the test too, but it was the random test that was wrong! D:
Please help.

Thanks!

0<1 is one char shorter than true and 0<0 is two chars shorter than false..

Seems also, uncharacteristically for me, I didn't explain it...

Yes, it has been raised as an issue numerous times

Strings passed in will consist of only letters and spaces

same problem
