and WTF did you resolve this issue? The typo isn't corrected. Did you even changed something to the description?

Well you are right ;D

I guess depending on the language. Some languages have predefined cheat haha.

The description is quite misleading. Should be:

Write a function that calculates the number of triples formed by consecutive letters that can stay the same after at least one of possible shuffles.

You made my day, so perfect!

It is not 6 kyu - it is 7 or 8

"Remember, you'll need to take into account the extra Pidgey Candy gained from tranferring and evolving Pidgeys." - First of all, there is a typo, should be "tranSferring", I guess. Second, it is unclear if you can transfer already evolved Pidgeys, thus getting not 1, but 2 candies after an evolve (if it walk like a Pidgey, then it must be a pigley - so Professor most likely will exchange them too). Third, the phrase "you won't get the Pidgey back" - is unclear, especially to not native english speakers and it would be great if it gets clarified. (do you mean that we can't exchange Candy for Pidgey?)
Thank you.

You misunderstood, the first argument, is the total of numbers, if it is 10, then they go from 0 to 9, and the second argument is the number you use to find its radially opposed number. Look at the example again. It's a pretty similar case.

what? it's just a simple math problem...

this can not be 7kyu it is much harder
