hmmmmm....

When is a code correct:
- if the code passes all given tests
- if the code is conform all given rules

What I mean is that Benny's 196 fails the following test:
 Code:
[Test 17]
Input=ba
Output=<ba> is acceptable.


I could remove another 4 strokes without failing the current test case, but the code will fail a test with input as "oop"

 Code:
Your solution passed all tests
