    The discussion with @sayfidz is not hidden so you should be able to see it. @sayfidz put a post asking kind of the same question as you.
    I reproduce my answer and below his answer.

    It's always difficult to transpose a mathematical problem into a day life one.
    The solution of n choose x = 1 is "zero". From an artistic point of view it means, for me,
    that there will only be a drawing in black and white with no colored paint in the same way
    that you say a "black and white movie" opposed to a "color movie" (though black and white are colors too...).

    Yeah, you're right; I was overthinking it. I went into it thinking of "color" as RGB = (x, y, z) or something,
    so I wasn't expecting 0 to be a valid response. As you described, it's more important to make the
    concept accessible, which your analogy does. I also did a small bit of searching and found that
    whether or not black and white are colors is a "grey" (ha) area. So I agree, no change is needed.

    Did you have to modify your solution to pass the tests? If you follow the equation given in the description you "fall" without problem on the good answer:-)
    Thanks for your feedback but be aware that "obviously" is not always "obvious":-)

    Maybe you read the description a bit too quickly. checkchoose(m, n) is x such as n choose x = m (See equation (1) in the description). Here checkchoose(1, 5) is x such as 5 choose x = 1. The only "obvious" x is then mathematically 0. Don't you agree? See the discussion below with @sayfidz 3 weeks ago for an "artistic" interpretation of this mathematical result.
    If you consider my answer as acceptable, please mark the issue as resolved.

    @jimbolatte if the description of the original kata changes, the translation and the kata diverged. You need to fork your own translation if this happens. The old translation gets retired/un-published automatically during the process and you can publish the fork after you've manually merged the description.

    (Cannot comment on your translation due to #68)

    For some reason is still won't let me approve it, and it says recent changes must be merged first although I have none.

    Thanks for the input!
