Hello,
for n=3 shouldnt the pascal triangle used to generate the marix be [[1], [1, 1], [1, 2, 1]] ?

why is only [[1],[1,1]] ?

Did i miss something?
Kind regards
Marco

Don't brute force then. Find a shortcut :)

I see, your logic makes sense, however the desc is still confusing:

Your task is to return the person who will guess their hat first. You can assume that they will speak only when they reach a correct conclusion.

Since 2 needs 1's answer to help him, and there's no deadline for calculating it, how the hell does 2 know if 1 doesn't know the answer or 1 is still thinking?

IMO, adding this might help:

If someone can't solve the puzzle, he/she will shout it out too.

Stunning ideas

If that, I'll prefer it to be a new kata. Otherwise thanks for replying.

Merged.

JS fork 🤖🤖

• used mocha/chai assertions + ´lodash´ for randomness
• provided input on failure
• got rid of unnecessary/unused logs and functions)

that was fun

wtf is the description, since 2 can only see one color, how the hell can he tell the right answer?

This kata is a subject to deduplication process here: https://github.com/codewars/content-issues/issues/229.

ideally there should be some explanation in the initial code, yes. you can open a suggestion to request that.

Using enums is a great choice when they are supported.

But on Codewars, you don't get the exact definition of the enum, so you need to guess how to use it.

Is it really a good idea to go with that?

because it's better to use enumerated types in languages that support them. the reasons enums are rarely used on Codewars are 1) some translators are not aware of what is most idiomatic in their language of choice and 2) the first languages available on Codewars (JavaScript, Python, Ruby) do not have language support for enums¹, so they used string constants instead, and translators to other langauges replicated this interface most of the time.

¹: Python now has an enum module, but it's a library and not a language construct

Why choose to preload Color in Rust rather than use String, as is commonly done in other languages?
