The instructions still seem unclear to me: For example, it says Testing [8, 'A'] and J; Expecting: ['stay', 19]. But if I can choose what an Ace is, whether soft (1) or hard (11), I may opt for soft in this case. My hand is 8+1=9. Hitting Jack brings me to 19. There's nothing wrong with that.

Moreover, what's supposed to happen if the hand is [9,'A'] and the next card is A. Seems obvious to me that I should choose a soft Ace, having 9+1 in my hand, and then hit next card (Ace 11), totalling 21.

The idea is: at any point where you are adding up the total value of your current hand of cards, it is up to you to decide whether or not it is more mathematically advantageous to count an ace as 1 or 11.

From the description:

Remember Ace can be worth 1 or 11, depending on the situation.

not a kata issue

How do you know if an Ace is 1 or 11. You didn't tell us which situation causes 1 and which situation causes 11.

.

btw what should the function called!

tie is almost never tested in random tests.

There should be sample and fixed tests on cases for removing invalid names

Random tests do not have sufficient coverage such that this solution passes from time to time

• Description does not mention about the criteria in deciding who is the winner ! (sum of all scores or side-by-side comparison or highest score or etc....)

• Also the rules for scoring on 4 points are vague, it should be 4 points for each yard passing

It's an easy one, but a good one. Thank you! :)
