Hi,

If you're interested in authoring kata, you should begin with reading the entire documentation about it: https://docs.codewars.com/authoring/guidelines/kata

In addition to what was already pointed below:

• the test framework isn't used properly
• "not a novel idea": we already have tons of tasks like this one

Cheers

You need to write actual tests and proper initial code for the kata.

Or ethnicity as that one refers to cultural heritage rather than reducing people to their appearance

Hey I think the better term would be "racialized", as it pays tribute to the societal aspects of race perception

If you look at the description carefully, rules can be of any length equal to an odd number (1,3,5...). Your solution assumes that rules are always length 3, thus failing the tests with different rule length. Try again!

Ok thanks!

Moreover your message could be considered as a spoiler since you gave one method that can be used to solve the kata. Please use a spoiler flag when doing this (I set it for you this time).

Not an issue. You must compare bits, as it is clearly stated, and that doesn't depend on the method you use to get the binary representation (btw you don't even need to actually convert numbers to a binary representation to solve it).

Fixed.

actually I could submit it now. But I had to press "Test" and then "Submit".
I don't know how that can happen

Python !

Which language are you using?

I am asking for help:
I implemented everything asked in the description, and the function passes all of the test EXCEPT the last two basic tests.
There is no feedback on what is wrong.
How can I alter my function to pass them?
