    To complement Johan's reply, also consider coming to our kata authoring channel: I tend to usually be too busy in this period, but if you drop me a pm, I should be available [even if you are not a nice lady in need of support, just for this once!].

    I'm quite impressed with the OP's good nature in the face of Ice's comments. So let me phrase it positively: "Do one thing, and do it well."

    I think Voile has a point, which does not mean I totally disagree with you Giacomo.

    Ice, maybe you really just shouldn't post at 5:00 AM. :] Man, you were obnoxious! But if OP forgives you, I do as well. (You sounded worse than me on a bad day! :)

    AJ, answers to most of your questions can be found on the left of your screen, under Forums or Wiki. (Some might take a bit of clicking through to next pages.) If you have specific questions you can't find the answer to, please post those individually, because it's easier to answer one question than fourteen. Also, you can look at other people's tests after you've solved a kata. Unfortunately, you may or may not be able to edit other people's kata and look how they did the Description markup (which is Markdown); you can't see that when you look at the tests or when you fork a solution. Be careful not to save any changes, of course. If you finds you can't edit other people's kata, you may need a higher rank - solve more kata! (Also, not everyone checks the "contributors" box.)

    (Description Markdown is documented as comments Markdown I think. It's almost (but not quite!) identical. It links to a GitHub page. You can also embed HTML, but I try to avoid that whenever possible, only use it for <sup> and <sub> tags.)

    Oh, come on, Voile: let him be! For a power user adding the code to convert a number to human readable number takes... What? 20 seconds?

    He tried to do something original, he played with the code and he stood here to take even blunt criticism: would you prefer a copycat kata with the author completely unwilling to change a comma :D?

    IMO you're commiting the "juggling 10 things in a time" syndrome in this first kata of yours, i.e you're requesting people to do many completely different things:

    • String to number
    • Find max length of consecutive 0s in its binary representation
    • Then... convert it to english words for no reasons??? And what's the deal with emphasizing on "capitalizing"?

    So it goes up really high on the annoying range of things.

    If you're just testing the second bullet point, make it so. Don't add like a dozen unnecessary things. That doesn't really add much difficulty, and it's just annoying.

    Search for random numbers or something in Ruby. You should be instantly pointed to a certain module ;-)
