I just saw this comment when I opened the homepage. Curiosity got the best of me and I just had to check it out.

My god.

I feel like I'm missing something simple here. I've been at work on this one for a few hours now, and have tried nested if statements with up to 4 'ands' and 3 'ors' a piece and even still I'm stumped. I'll have to come back once I have more experience. A good test though.

It's clear but it's a very good problem, at least to me. I could have done it by now with some very over-complicated solution with 5 or 7 moving parts (variables/loops), but I'm trying to work out the kinks on paper and come to a concise solution that only has, let's say, 2-3 moving parts. A variable or 2 and a for loop feels like all I should need, but trying to get to that point is what has taken me so long. I did just figure out a way to trim a lot of the fat on it just before I saw that you messaged me.

I have the drive home from work now to think about it.

Looks like I'm one of the first people actually discussing this one. I'm having a heck of a time trying to figure out what to do here without making this a 30- or 40-line mess.

Omg this got me good. I stayed at work 5 mins over just to read the comments. 🤣
