So i just spent 30 minutes trying to shorten my answer since it was too long only to unlock solutions and see everybody having submitted the exact same answer as I have???

EDIT: Having your cursor on a new line counts as a character. Had to move my cursor to line 1 to pass this kata.

I am unsure as to whether it is checking whether the type is equal or the content of whatever datatype is equal. For lists it wants the content to be equal, but for the counters it simply asks for the type to be the same, not the content. Please clarify this. Thanks. Interesting kata.
