I think we should add the note that "the food will be 3 characters long before AND after the bite marks." to the kata's description: @justintc23

I was having the same problem. Stopping and thinking about what computation I was doing that didn't need doing fixed things. Nice kata in that regard - at least for me, newish to coding, something beyond the correctness of the sums and code to take account of.

Currently Codewars platform is experiencing issues. Just wait for a bit.

I keep trying to submit my kata and I don't get past the 'attempt' section.

hey, hi I am facing the same problem, is there any solution for this? please

Happens to me too, though my solution is correct it times out at 120000ms

I've solved the kata, yet I am still getting a timeout error. When I click run examples my test passes in ~300ms. However, when I try to run my code against the full test suite it timesout. I don't know why though.

EDIT:
All of my tests are passing but it takes around 12200ms to run and times out. I tried refactoring but my code is running at the same speed.

@g964 any thoughts?
