Hi, I really like it here on your blog!!!
Hi Andrea,
I was at your Code Kata session during the Developer Developer Developer conference Belfast.
You mentioned you would have liked to see the solution in Common Lisp (CL), after I mentioned it. I think these Katas are a neat idea so I decided to code it. check link below.

You mentioned about unit testing CL, there is actually less need for formal unit testing frameworks with CL due to fact it is a dynamic language that allows interactive programming, having a REPL. But I decide to whip something together anyway, the top 2/3 of the code is the “testing framework” if you can really call it that; I just whipped it together in little over 1/2 hour.
Hi Michael: Thanks for the message, that’s an interesting solution.
