    Still no fix to the "random tests start with spaces" issue for Python.

    e.g. packet is " EHLVS QPUH KV ..." reports "0 should equal 42545".

    Indeed, it does appear fixed now. Not sure what was going on, as I did not change any code and it now passes all tests.

    Description should be made more explicit, to clarify what is being asked. While it is possible to guess at what is meant by "separated by a random special character" by examining the test cases (at least in Python), all test cases use the same random character throughout the entire string. For example, the string "23;RPM;300;PSI;MODE;FORWARD" uses a semicolon as a random character. This suggests that the random special character will be consistent throughout the string, and the challenge is to identify the character and parse the string. However, the actual tests include strings where the special character changes, such as "CODE*SEVEN|FOURTY#THREE&HUNDRED" which uses four different separator symbols. This requires a completely different approach than the first assumption.

    Description lacking. The only way to solve this one is to try to debug the random tests with respect to non-alphabetic characters.
