  2. This is the dumbest I’ve felt in days. I don’t get how the solution matches the code. Please help. Thank you.

  3. Hmm… Well, to those that don’t get it:

    SGOIGOX
    SGOIGOX
    SGOIGOX

    Split it apart:
    S GO I GO X
    Two GO’s in S I X
    repeated three times.

  4. I saw the challenge this morning and it took until now to figure it out. Even with reading the explanation by RM. I do not think my brain is working today. I amso almost hit another driver on my way to work. I need an extra flossing today.

  5. Yeah, it took me about an hour to figure it out with the explanation….I feel pretty deficient today.

  7. I couldn’t get this one either.
    I was thinking “3 times” and “six” — but I couldn’t figure out the go-go in there. Maybe if I’d have kept trying – or maybe not.
