Hello Anonymous, I’m not allowed to give direct answers of this challenge. If I remember correctly, the datasets should be deleted when you get it right.

Hi Kevin!
I completed Part 2, but have not received the badge yet. Do you have an idea of how many days it takes to receive it?
Thanks!

Hello Anonymous, I would advise you to just try and do those challenges again very slowly. Maybe read my blogs together with the IBM assignment and try to find out where you went wrong, step by step.

I do believe that you need to pass all part two exercises to gain the part two badge. I think only part three has a point system where they score your solutions.

– Merry Christmas, Kevin.

Hello Kevin,
I completed Part 2 yesterday and discovered that 2,3,6,7,9 were scored as incorrect. I have tried to fix these all day today with no improvement. These challenges seem to be the easier ones and I have no idea what I’m doing wrong. Any advice?

Also, what percentage have to be scored as correct in order to earn the badge?

Thanks.

Hi Isaac, congratulations on finishing part two 🙂

Finishing part 3 feels good, the blog really kept me motivated and it’s fun knowing people actually read them haha. The next thing? We can use the mainframe up to Aug 31, 2019. My goal is to learn how to use languages like Java, Cobol and Rexx on this system and gain experience. I’ll definitely also participate in MTM 2019 🙂

What about you?

thank you kevin i really appreciate, part two done and dusted.

Quick question though, how does it feel like being a part 3 finalist? And what’s the next thing you are planning on doing?

Not correct, should be more than 4000. Just write it out and recalculate. 2468+512+256+(-)1999+1983+(-)2007+2890+500=? How do you get 2869? I’m not too sure about my number now, I don’t have the data set anymore.
