I think this is more of a 5 kyu...

The Example 2 section in the instructions contains some typos and it is not very clear. You may want to review that to make it more comprehensible and easy to read.

Nice kata. I didn't know what dynamic programming was, so it took me a while... But I learned something new.

Nice kata!! It has been real fun solving it.

That has nothing to do with how the instructions are written. I find them confusing, hence my commentary. Thank you.

I think it would help if there was a reference of RGB colors or its hexadecimal system on the instructions... It would be less confuse to someone who is not familiarized with that. But other than that, great kata!!

It is a good kata. However, in my opinion it is not a 6 kyu kata...

Both numbers are False when I try them in my code (that passed all the tests), so I guess it is not expected to be True. Maybe there is something else wrong with your code...

This kata has given me a terrible headache over the past three days, but I was finally able to resolve it. It was worth it. Thanks!

The same happened to me because I was working with a matrix (a pandas matrix) because that is what I had understood from the instructions. Then I realized I had to treat it like a list of list and I could resolve it.

Please, post more information about your question, and maybe a screenshot of where are you lost and maybe someone will be able to help. You have to be more specific.

Yes, I did look at it when I was resolving the kata and I eventually resolved it, but I still think the instructions are too confusing for someone who is quite new to programming.

You have forgotten a coma in your smiley list. That may be causing problems in some of the tests because it may read two of the smiley options as one, giving you an incorrect result.

Why? It says in the description that the only options allowed for a mouth are either ")" or "D", not "O".

I think the instructions are way too confuse to a 6kyu.
