Twitter Hackerrank Coding Challenge - Incorrect testcases?

Has anybody completed the Twitter coding challenge for new grad role? There seems to be an issue with testcases. Anybody faced this? For image matching question I'm talking about. Thanks. Looks like people are more interested in judging. So just to clarify - There are tweets about this too. There was an error in previous year as well.

So they changed the question description and example testcases to convey correctly what they are looking for. Needless to say, they didn't care to notify that they have made the change.

So here’s what happened - hackerrank sucks balls and no Twitter engineer wants to spend time babysitting their stupid interface and test cases. The engineers that do have time are too junior to do this properly and make stupid mistakes which y’all catch and clean up. Blame hackerrank for selling us their useless license and ruining our interview process
