Very satisfying kata!

You’re not wrong.

What the task description does say, however, is that input strings are actual quotes from Jaden Smith, minus the capitalization. One could argue that those quotes – a finite set of known strings – don’t include chains of two or more consecutive spaces. The test cases seem to confirm that assumption.

If the original message contains several spaces in a line, this code will remove them. Thus, the code does not replace each initial letter of the word with a capital one, but also changes the length of the line, which is not part of the task

Kind of stuck here. I've been trying to solve it, but I can't figure out what's the security hole in check_credentials! another hint?

Excellent kata. Filled in knowledge gaps.

Bars in the window

• Add JSON to the list of frozen modules. With the redefining of JSON.load credentials object becomes totally under control, and then it's easy way to all tests pass.
• The term "Metaprogramming" should be defined more clearly in the description.
• I didn't quite understand the tests. Do they check that any admin password is good, not just 'h4xx0r3d'?

You’re welcome @wkirschbaum, glad to hear you’ve learned a few things on your way!

This was a rough one... hated it until I got it right, but learned some stuff on the way. thanks @duchess_of_objects

Ruby is so good! =)

The crypt_password! method manipulates given.password, replacing its content with the return value of String#crypt.

So by the time the comparison happens, given.password will already contain the cryptographic hash.

That sounds crazy. It took me less than 10 minutes to find a solution, even if it probably wasn't what you had in mind.
Thanks for the Kata anyway, it was refreshing!

This is simple and elegant and does what it says on the tin. A+.

Oh...ok. LOL
