Okay, thanks so much!

LOL. I was actually wondering if the precision issue was part of the challenge.

Can I have some worked examples of the match percentage calculation? What formula do you use to derive the percentage?

The description is fine but the specifics are a mystery to me.

How is a "match percentage" defined?

What does it mean to "calculate the alignment"?

{"Persepolis"=>14, "Adults in the Room"=>11}
["Noughts & Crosses x10",
 "ts x7",
 "immortal",
 "tur x4",
 "nothing x2",
 "persepolis x10",
 "thwae",
 "tdc",
 "The Hare with Amber Eyes",
 "Outline by Rachel",
 "thwae",
 "tgd"]
expected: {"Adults in the Room"=>11, "Persepolis"=>14}
     got: {"Adults in the Room"=>11, "Persepolis"=>4}

(compared using ==)

Diff:
@@ -1,3 +1,3 @@
 "Adults in the Room" => 11,
-"Persepolis" => 14,
+"Persepolis" => 4,

The catalog needs 14 Persepolis.

However, in the inventory notes, there is "persepolis x10"

Why does the reference solution expect 14 Persepolis? There are 10 Persepolis in the inventory.

Errors from the random tests:

In file included from main.cpp:7:
./tests.cpp:37:23: error: use of undeclared identifier 'multiply'; did you mean '_multiply'?
        string temp = multiply(a, mul);
                      ^~~~~~~~
                      _multiply
./tests.cpp:21:8: note: '_multiply' declared here
string _multiply(string x, int mul) {
       ^
./tests.cpp:39:18: error: use of undeclared identifier 'add'; did you mean '_add'?
        result = add(result, temp);

string _add(string x, string y) {

"abcccabab"       3

Why is the expected result 3?

If the index is zero-based, then 3 would be the second 'c' instead of the first 'c'.

Random tests always seem to expect Diamond?

Does not award the correct statuette: 'Crystal' should equal 'Diamond'
Does not award the correct statuette: 'Bronze' should equal 'Diamond'
Does not award the correct statuette: 'Crystal' should equal 'Diamond'
Does not award the correct statuette: 'Silver' should equal 'Diamond'
Does not award the correct statuette: 'Silver' should equal 'Diamond'
Does not award the correct statuette: None should equal 'Diamond'
Does not award the correct statuette: 'Crystal' should equal 'Diamond'
Does not award the correct statuette: 'Silver' should equal 'Diamond'
Does not award the correct statuette: 'Silver' should equal 'Diamond'
Does not award the correct statuette: 'Crystal' should equal 'Diamond'

I may need a bigger hint. LOL

What exactly was being tested here??

Test Failed
  Expected: True
  But was:  False

test.assert_equals(makeFraction(.523681), (428417670197443, 818088190672896))

Why isn't the answer (523681, 999999)? That would produce the desired repeating decimal.

n: 179164078, score: 41130371602715017, expected: 25080488090337936: 25080488090337935 should equal 2.5080488090337936e+16

Why is the reference solution using floating point math when an exact integer solution is possible?

Fix the random tests to invalidate this solution:

This issue was corrected for the fixed tests but random tests still aren't testing anything.

For this "solution":

def problem(area):
    return 1

I got this result:
