I don’t mean to be rude, but the “wrapping around” term can be unclear, is this possible to explain what it means (> and v go back to 0 at the end of the line, < and ^ go to max if they are on 0…) ?
Maybe I’mp the only concerned, but it did block me a bit.

Isn’t that the definition of wrapping around (for me at least it is)?
I’m just wondering, what did you understand by that?
Maybe it is in fact confusing and I just got lucky and assumed correctly.
Well, i didnt understand it at all, now i know what it means, at least
If this is a question, the answer is first solution each time. “Wrapping around” means that. Same issue than me

I wrote my solution and passed Test 1, Test 2 and Test 3.
Unfortunately Test 4, Test 5 and Test 5 fail because I end up in an endless loop because:
- In Test 4 I have 1 arrow left so it steps around forever.
- In Test 5 I have 7 arrows left which all move up or down on different columns so they will never end up in the same position.
- In Test 6 I have 5 arrows left which all move left or right on different lines so they will never end up in the same position.
Obviously I made some mistake but because Test 4, 5 and 6 have so many arrows at the start it’s hard to find out where I went wrong. Does anyone have a hint or custom test case to help me find my error?
Luckily I found my error in my solution, it wasn’t an edge case but at some point I removed an arrow before checking if there maybe were others as well on the same position.
BTW, this may help others having doubts about a case like this:
Based on results from the tests I think result should be 2 and arrows are allowed to pass each other as long as they don’t end up on the exact same position.

It is so funny to read a such complaint(when the statement of this puzzle is crystal clear) from the one who created Coding Games and Programming Challenges to Code Better puzzle which has tag a Reading the statement and 3 stars rating.

Making a comment 2 years after, and to say this ! 
I’m guessing you didn’t solve it. Too bad. Don’t hesitate to ask your questions in the dedicated forum 
My only question is why didn’t you follow point 2 of this guide?
P.S. I don’t need anyone’s help to solve puzzles.
