    So how different is it from this kata? https://www.codewars.com/kata/58a848258a6909dd35000003

      Thanks for the search. Same underlying concept however the linked one has you playing a game yourself via contstruction of an object. This one has you tracking a simulated game, so enough of a variation I think.

    Hi,

    Your random tests are still totally useless... :o

      That solution solves for the 3 hidden static tests, but there's 30 randomized tests after that that this would fail, right?

      Edit: Blind4Basics, apologies you're right. Was testing against itself... hard to fail that. Have corrected the code, now fails appropriately. Thanks for noting.

      no, it's valid, as you can see. And that's the point: you random tests never generate valid situations.

    Test.assert_equals(bc_solver([("1111", "3B0C"),
                              ...
                              ]), "1211")

    In the classic version the digits are unique; they aren't here, so the rules should be stated more clearly. I see 9 cows here: 3 1s match 2 1s each and 1 1 matches 3 1s.

      Thanks - had overlooked the uniqueness description of the original game. I've amended the description to classify it as a variation and made the repetition of numbers more clear.

      So what about counting cows? "[C]orrect numbers but in incorrect places" is ambiguous. Depending on the rules, each 1 in one number the example above can match each 1 in the other number except where it's a bull.
