OK, of course right after I say that I figure out what you mean. Solid is the key here.

Can you better explain how to arrive to the last count? I am trying to visualize it and cannot match the numbers as to what you're asking for. Thanks in advanced!

Wait, I think i just found another thread having a similar issue. They were modifying the names object. Sounds to me like the same array is used somehow when passed to individual tests....................

Good call. For ruby.

here's an example of a failed test:

Testig for Quincy Rosenkreutz, Nigel, Daley Wong
It should work for random inputs too -  Expected: "Quincy Rosenkreutz and Nigel like this", instead got: "Quincy Rosenkreutz, Nigel and Daley Wong like this"

Yeah random tests fail when I try to submit. I write the test into my test area and it works fine. :(
