The linked documentation was far from sufficient. I ended up having to read the source code to figure out how the encoding actually works. Once I had read the source code, the Kata was not nearly as interesting.
I think this would be a really good Kata if the instructions included a full specification of basE91 encoding.
The python test cases are broken. It expected heat:27 humidity 0.48... to return True, but that should be False because humidity needs to be <= 0.4 according to the instructions.
I actually ended up just submitting
return humidity < 0.5 and heat < 36
Fixed, the Python solution was wrong.
Great Kata!
I spent several hours trying to solve "Tap Into Mr. Mxyzinjin's Brain" before coming here and doing this one instead.
I'm still not sure how to solve that one, though.

Please review and approve my translations :D

return humidity < 0.5 and heat < 36
which passed all the tests.
Agreed. It's a good Kata, but definitely not a 4. Way to easy for 4.
