It shows an overlap, but it doesn't indicate how one should parse it.

It showed "eightwothree" to be 83. Or is that not what you are talking about?

If it had shown "eightwo" as the last part of a string, then people with overlap would fail the example because they'd be finding "eight" where "two" would be correct. Having it at the beginning means it was overlooked, at least for me.

Though, I have no problem with the "spec". This a code puzzle game, so figuring that out was part of the fun, in my opinion
