We’ve deprecated an exercise for being beer-focused. Perhaps we could modify the zebra puzzle exercise to give the people a hobby instead of a cigarette brand
Old Gold => dancing
Kools => painting
Chesterfields => reading
Lucky Strikes => football
Parliaments => chess
Only the wording of the introduction and instructions needs to change.
Considering that there are only 554 completions on Python, invalidating all solutions doesn’t seem that bad. We’re probably talking < 2000 solutions total across all tracks.
Yeah, Erik and I discussed this when we recorded the video. I’d be happy to see cigarette changed to hobby.
I’m not sure the other two changes are necessary though. Englishmen exist and are (sometimes) harmless. And sometimes people drink coffee and enjoy it. I think if all the examples were gendered or caffeine-related then that would be fine, but I’m happy to have at least those two descriptors be about me
Agree with simpler grammar, but rather than “Someone drinks water in the green house.”, I think it should be “The person in the green house drinks water”.
As long as we don’t change “water” or “zebra” or “Norwegian” or “Japanese”, all these suggested edits affect docs only. No solution will break, although they be somewhat disconnected from the instructions (cigarettes in the code, hobbies in the docs).
