Sorry for all the false positives. I have added more test cases.

It turns out that the difference in meaning between "not both" and "both not" is critical to this problem. Do'h! Took me a while to figure out where I was going wrong. :P

Exactly what I like in Cody. Interesting and modular problem, with good explanations.
What else ?

Andrew Newell on 15 Aug 2013

Thank you, Jean-Marie! If I have time, I might extend the problem even further.

I now see that this is not a valid solution..it has false positives but still passes the test suite :-(
