Yeah, probably should be 4 kyu.

True, I still stand by what I said

You haven't solved a lot of kata's then I reckon

Try this test:

test.assert_equals(solve("aaaZ"),"aaaz")

There is a bug in your code.

Am I misunderstanding something here? If there are more lowercase than uppercase we should return a lowecase string yes? And if vice versa uppercase? I'm getting numerous fail tests where there are more lowercase than uppercase and it still says it should be uppercase. Why??

Unreadable stuff here my guy

Aahhhhhh ok. Thank you

This particular case is stated in the description, at the end:

"Not all paths can be made simpler. ..."

The "reducibility" criterion for this kata is a "local" one: you are only allowed to cancel the opposing effects of move N and N+1, if they are opposite, rather than being able to cancel a larger series of moves (like the 4 moves N,S,E,W returning to start).

Or, in the more poetic language of the kata description, ^ this ^ is what the following sentence means:

"Going to one direction and coming back the opposite direction right away is a needless effort."

Best solution, A+

Quite possibly the worst kata I've ever had the displeasure of laying my eyes on

Factor translation

Can't see test cases on half the ones not working, why is this

'max' as if 8 isn't the easiest, probably a 7 since 8s are pretty beginner oriented

This can't be a 5kyu, right? tried for a while then gave up, saw the solutions and was like wtf
