Chris -- The correct y-matrices for tests 3 and 5 seem to have changed since this problem was written.

ChrisR on 16 Feb 2022

Thanks. I updated test 3. I'm seeing that test 5 still works.

Nikolaos Nikolaou on 17 Mar 2022

Chris plz run my solution , as there are a bunch of issues with the test suite. In test 3 in particular : ['Guess the card in Fitch Cheney’s five-card trick'] . Am not sure as to why that matrix is there at all

ChrisR on 19 Mar 2022

Nikolaos, thanks for pointing out the extraneous brackets. They do not affect the tests, and the tests seem to work. I'll look through your code to see what's going on.

Has webread gotten slow? Or it appears slow because of the amount of data it reads corresponding to the webpage?
