The default call routine has numbers "2" but the check routine expects "two" to be the function call name.

I'm just curious, cause the description doesn't specify it clearly (and there is no test for this): what the output should be when input has more than two b's?

Sorry to steal the lead with this lame solution! I was trying different things before realizing the trick, and hadn't changed the solution back.

I think there is a problem with the test or tests, since even the default solution fails to evaluate with 'Parse error' indicated.

Drew Weymouth on 4 Apr 2012

I agree. Function names cannot start with numbers, so this problem should be revised.
