I'm pretty sure you need to flag this as a spoiler, but I did it for you so no worries. :D

Hey Samfolo, I would just study a normal spiral (not jumping corner to corner) and this very similar to that, at least my solution was. Good kata

Do you mean you encountered a test case with size=4 and mandatory position=c3? I took some special precautions to not generate unsolvable cases and such situation should not happen, so if you confirm this indeed was your case, I will take a look at that.

I've got it, but it's timing out after 80 test cases, which is fair enough, but one of the first test cases has no valid 4-queen solution (c3).

I test-drove it.. forgot to make it a one-liner! hah.

I've basically sorted it, but random tests are saying: Expected "", instead got: [my_solution_here]..
is this normal? Having an empty string expectation even with input?

Edit: it actually gives me a (Test::Error) message.. is that on me or the kata?

didn't get any points... annoying.

Had to look at the answer as I had absolutely no idea where to go from 'unravelling' the spiral..
does anyone have any resources to understand this concept algorithmically?

I obviously missed the ".permutation" memo...
