You were indeed tripping

Hi @buudee625 - I'm looking at the Python tests, both in the full test suite and the preloaded Sample Tests: the example that you are asking about appears to me as:

    #...
    ('----<----->----', -1),
    ('>-----<-->--<-----', 2), # <- this is the one you are asking about
    ('>>-----<<', 3),
    #...

In your screenshot, the value for the test has been modified from 2 to 1. As this is not what is currently in the kata tests, are you sure that you didn't modify it yourself while coding your solution?

Try this: copy your code locally (it will be deleted when you press Reset), then press "Reset" below the kata to reset the values of the test suite. Now look to see what the kata test settings are - you should see:

('>-----<-->--<-----', 2)

Please let me know if this does/doesn't work so I can close the Issue or look into it further.
