Failure
Found: Frida plus Diego = Dida Fridiego Friego
Expected: Frida plus Diego = Fridiego Friego
Question : why not Dida ? beginning of “DIego” with the end of “frIDA” with only 1 common letter. There is also 1 common letter in Fridiego and Friedo.
➤ Must not be shorter than the shortest individual-name.
Dida would be a great Couple Name, but it violates the minimum length rule
OK I missed this rule, thank you.
I never thought I would ever click on such banner picture and link name of my own free will…
Nice easy puzzle idea - as now becoming usual from you
Haha, thank you for the high- praise
a nice challenge with lots of rules to trip up on
excellent tests
Hello,
Ben and Jennifer
Why not : Jennifen ?
Tarzan and Jane
Why not : Jarzan Tane
Heidi and Spencer
Why not : Spenceidi Hencer
for the first 2:
➤ Include only Couple-Names with the most overlapping-letters possible
for the 3rd one:
there are 3 possible results and they must be listed in alphabetical order
thx and for finish
Ben and Jennifer
Why not : Jen
Jen is not Ben and not Jennifer
Rule ?!
Cannot be the same as either of the individual names because that’s just silly
Thanks for playing my puzzle
Ben plus Jennifer could be “Bennifer”: That has 2-overlapping letters (“en” from Ben and “en” from ennifer).
So per rule “Only Max Overlapping” we will NOT include any other options where there are less than 2 overlapping letters.
For Ben plus Jennifer to equal Jen (and have 2 over-lapping lettters), you would have to take the first part of Jennifer (Jen) and smoosh it with the last part of Ben (en). (The 2 over-lapping letters are “en”).
That is not acceptable since it violates the “Must contain at least one letter from each person, that isn’t part of the overlapping-letter(s).” rule. Ben’s entire contribution would be just the overlapping letters (“en”). (Poor Ben)
Only Max Overlapping:
➤ Include only Couple-Names with the most overlapping-letters possible. For example, if there is a Couple-Name that has 2 overlapping-letters, don’t show others that have less than 2 overlapping-letters.
I’m passing all tests and all but one validator–failing validator 12. Can you provide the inputs or a distinguishing test?
Hi sammck
Thanks for playing my puzzle.
I just private messaged you the input.
(At least I think I did, but I can’t seem to confirm that. So if you don’t see it, let me know)
Let me know if you have any concerns or want the output also
Hello. Nice puzzle idea.
I also have trouble with the 12th validator.
Could you provide me the input ?
Maybe in a public message ? I’m guessing other people will have the same problem in the future.
A public message is probably a bad idea. However, if a number of people have trouble with that validator, the author should think about whether a pair of test and validator should be added to cover any particular aspects of that validator.
