How did this kata get approved?

Thank you, it works now.

This is not an issue with the kata, your code is mutating the input. Try printing the original input right before you return to see what I mean.

Testing for [55, 11], 3 should equal 4 in random test cases, python. If I add an item to a list with length 2, then the length expected should be 3. Issue occurs in all random test cases.

Very difficult kata. I can't complete it with less than 28 characters.

I admit I wrote a super messy code!

Great kata!

I dont even understand the statement :)

Great kata! I still can't understand how I solved it!

I have an idea - a code-golf thing where the function can print any single letter, but it has to reuse basic components that occur in multiple letters in order to minimize the amount of code. I'm not really sure this will work, compared to printing each letter separately, and will take some investigation. Let me think about it.

Based on the current rating (you are looking to get at least 80 % satisfaction rating), it might be worthwhile to incorporate a small feature that adds a bit of extra flair to the challenge.

As long as there's agreement on what the "cool" letters are. :-) I certainly don't want to do all 26.

And there is already a kata that asks you to print multiple ascii art letters horizontally. It doesn't have the scaling factor, but that doesn't seem worth adding.

that would be a world better than expecting to one day have literally dozens of near duplicate kata

Can't you combine all cool letters into one kata, the current one?

Actually, I was going to do M next, which is more interesting. But B could be done. How about this?
