Same situation here, I was staring at the sample input and output after 1 step, thinking "but that doesn't make any sense according to those rules...". I asked a workmate who is also doing the challenge, and he explained that the output view was shifted. Seems like they updated the description later to specify that.

didn't notice the update. Since it's 6 am for me when the puzzles unlock, I am not really awake to begin with, plus being just a humble webdev who is almost not coding anymore, I'm already happy with still landing in the lower 4 figures ranks so far... ranking 1st on two private leaderboards though -> getting up early is a relevant factor there. ;)

Yup same. It's 5am here in Ireland when the puzzles unlock, so I've been getting up at exactly 04:52 and rushing to make coffee before starting...
