I was confused by this as well! The queue reads left-to-right and not right-to-left.

The front person in the queue (i.e. the first element in the array/list) proceeds to a till as soon as it becomes free.

I am not satisfied with this Kata because it uses big words like lexicographical. I have spoken.

Love it! Taking 'time' in the most literal sense.

Piotr, I just finished all of your coding meet up katas that are available in Python. I was looking to improve my skills with dictionaries and list comprehensions and this was a fantastic set of problems, all very well described and thought out.

Thank you for your work! I will definitely revisit for JavaScript.

At first I usually do it the normal/intended way. Then, if the task looks interesting, I try to find other (unusual, recursive, golfed, hardcoded, etc) solutions. I simply use it as an exercise to improve my knowledge and thinking, so no special rules or goals.

Cheers

I noticed you refactored quite a few times. If you don't mind me asking, what are you looking for when you iterate through your solution making changes?

Are there any general development rules to make it easier, or do you just sort of evaluate each piece of the code and think "can I golf this?"

Far from that

you are a genius.

A recursive solution, golfed :-)
