It is a task of your code to figure out when it should count the Aces as 11 or 1
When choosing their values, the priority is that the sum is the closest to 21, without exceeding
Example
if the initial hand is
"A", "A" = 22, with 22 points the player should lose, however, since "A" may also worth "1" the new value of the hand should be
"A", "A" = 12, 12 since one of the "A" worth 1, now let's suppose the player hit a new card(draw a card) and got a "10"
"A", "A", "10" = 22, again, with 22 points the player should lose, but one of the Aces still worth 11, so it is changed to 1
"A", "A", "10" = 12, If the player hits again and get a "K"
"A", "A", "10", "K" = 22, now the player lose since both "A" worth 1, but the player has over 21 points.

Thanks man, free points! ;)
Understanding the kata is the kata.

And now you are a 1kyu! awesome!
What language?
Same problem with me..how did you managed?

@isqua Would you mind changing the 'should handle basic cases' to use
Test.asserEqualsin javascript too?Negative numbers should be handled as regular, - * - = + .
Not an issue.
