lol idk man I was 16, abs should work here

Awesome!!!

You do know that you are using the same nested loops in your solution as well?

I have a hard time believing 1700+ python solves but the issue is with the kata and not your code.

Not a kata issue. Closing.

A year and half passed and I am glad my coding style improved lol, thank you for replying.

Dude your code is fine, But I don't know, why it returns false, maybe a server side issue. But I would change that ~int(command)+2 to 3-int(command) it's more readable that way. If you're use strings like "q1" "q2" to track states, might as well use an integer, and there's no need for self.states. Yeah, I know, I'm 1 year late. XD

using the knowledge that already exist and building on it is nothing to be ashamed of, "monkey-coders" as you said are the ones who dont notice the simplest solutions. now im not saying you shouldn't be doing something from scratch. but if there is an easier way why would you do that ? it will just be a waste of time.

when i look at my solution and see this, i feel ashamed

years, days, hours, minutes and seconds.

no months

'6 months, 2 days, 1 hour, 44 minutes and 40 seconds' should equal '182 days, 1 hour, 44 minutes and 40 seconds'
there is a mistake in the test
