Fixed in latest fork and some time ago respectively

Done in latest fork

fixed + upgraded to JUnit 5

great kata, thanks! learned something new :)

OP solved it, closing

Ugliest code i ever written... xD

Ok, I see, easy fix and I passed. Thanks.

i'm sorry, this is my fault; the assertion message was incorrect when n > 254, and the memory was not reset at every test, which caused confusing assertions

I fixed that and republished. Your code is still wrong though, for the reason I said.

That doesn't seem to be the issue, as the error appears for n = 254: for n = 254, at index 232, expected: "#e9e9e9" but got: ""
the index where it doesn't find any entry seems to change everytime I run it, attempting again, I get for n = 254, at index 193, expected: "#c2c2c2" but got: "".

you have to generate shades even when n is larger than 254, it's just that you stop at 254

Thanks :)
