  In the new challenge "Pseudocode" it says: "Drop every alternate digit of x starting from the first digit"...

  I could be wrong in how I'm interpreting that, but the way I read it is the opposite of your intended meaning. If I start from the first digit, then the second digit would be the first alternate... IMHO, "Drop every alternate digit of x starting with the first digit" would be a better choice of words, not that it's really that hard to figure it out once you see you got the wrong answer the first time.

   

  EDIT: And while I'm at it... in the challenge "A special browser", the word "Egyptian" has been misspelled as "Egyption". :p

  Ah right...it's ambiguous.  Changed as suggested ;)

  Also edited the typo in A special browser.

  Thanks!
