yes. The unpublication, here, is to avoid having an available kata whose the task doesn't match the description. But you still can republish it once you resolve the different problems and close the issue(s) (Note: in that order).

However, one question remains: is the task interesting enough once all the problems are resolved? I'm not totally sure about that (Not saying it is useless either)

This kata can still be salvaged. Address the issues and republish afterwards.

Wow, I didn't know about all that!

Thank you so much :D

Hey @greendeerIncognito and welcome to Codewars! It's always nice to see people motivated to make new katas - if you are interested in doing so, the best advice would be to consider joining the Codewars Discord; there is a #help-author channel where you can get early feedback on kata ideas.

People in that channel can help you by pointing out existing katas in the catalogue (avoids you making duplicates), or just general implementation advice.

The general "standard" is that when you publish to Beta, the kata should already be in decent shape, although maybe with some minor errors that can be fixed easily. That's why you can ask people to quickly review your Draft (before publishing to Beta) in Discord and it will improve your chances to get the kata approved.

Hope that helps, see you on the next one!

Awww, I'm sad to hear that... :(

I guess I'll just create an entirely new idea for a kata...

the task falls too far from the description. unpublished.

I find the current description incredibly obtuse just to describe "2 pairs count as 4 points". When counting points out of a hand (e.g for Poker) it is a common tradition to only count the biggest hand, so there will be no overlap between 4 of a kind and 3 of a kind. There is no need to complicate the matters.

Currently all possibilities are considered to have the same ratio, which is still incorrect.

Kata expects incorrect results. Sample tests ->

0.7521367521367521 should be close to 1.3641404805914972 with absolute or relative margin of 1e-06
0.6655462184873949 should be close to 1.471502590673575 with absolute or relative margin of 1e-06
0.7172413793103448 should be close to 1.534804753820034 with absolute or relative margin of 1e-06
0.7260504201680672 should be close to 1.431974921630094 with absolute or relative margin of 1e-06
0.7391304347826086 should be close to 1.4722564734895192 with absolute or relative margin of 1e-06

I'm pretty sure this kata expects wrong results. I'll make an issue.

You need some warmup sample tests with 5 or 6 cards, so users can debug their solution easier.

replace tag average by statistics

Do we need to filter out hands that give 0 score? I consistently get lower average scores as expected.

0.7521367521367521 should be close to 1.3641404805914972 with absolute or relative margin of 1e-06

And the description should be updated with this.

Nevermind, sorry
