As many said, nothing make sense especially to return values result as array of arrays.

Tricky, but enjoy a lot solve this Kata. Thanks everyone who contributed to it.

Nice kata to cover the overlap conncept, little harder than regular 7KYU.

Nice Kata, really enjoyed solving this. Thanks to everyone who contributed to it.

So, to be clear what you mean to say is: if you use the test example I showed you on your machine, your code returns 7, but the exact same code returns -1 on Codewars?

I said the same. In my machine, I am getting the same answer what the Kata is expecting but when I run in CW, it is failing. Did you tried to run any existing working solution.

What you really need to do is take the input from a failed test and put that in your machine, for example (you can easily see this is a correct test):

test.assert_equals(wheres_wally("Walley Wally, Wally- Wally: Wally+ Wally:"), 7)

...from there you have a means to debug.

In the future, only post as an issue is you can prove a problem with the kata, otherwise post as a question.

Nice kata, even though the rating is low on.

Good Kata, but needs lot of typing to accomodate all the conditions :(.
