Hi Kevin,

I found a little problem in the parameters. The problem statement defines the "H" parameters in hours. The example (with D=123,H=456,A=789) is correct, but in the real case the "H" parameter is given in days. The Half-life period is too small to let the total amount in the body reach the limit. I did not understand why my solution is incorrect but then I tried to multiply the "H" parameter by 24 and that solved the problem :)

Best regards, Adam

Hello Adam!

Thank you for bringing this to my attention! You are absolutely correct - the half-lives were previously being reported as days instead of hours. It should be corrected now.

And on closer inspection it looks like there actually was a slight typo in the D=123,H=456,A=789 example due to this error, changing the anwer from 7 to 8, so that should be fixed now as well :)

Thanks!!
