Thanks I will look into that now!

Sorry if I am being unclear. I can pass the sample tests but I fail in the attempts when the winning army has more than one soldier with the same shooting speed. So if the winning army originaly had a 55 soldier at both index 0 and index 1, and then the index 1 soldier survived but the index 0 soldier did not, I am still returning index 0 because it is the first in the list I am looking up to and grabbing the surviving 55's index number. I am struggling with how to solve/correct my issue so I was hoping I could find some hints here.

Any hints on how to get the original index numbers for the winning army? I thought I had this solved and passed all tests but when I do attempt I seem to be failing on ones where the winnning army has multiple soliders with the same shooting speed. I am currently grabbing the original index from whichever one that appears first in the original list even if it was the second solider who survived.

this made me chuckle
