The test function has some incorrect values: Nebraska and Nevada are incorrectly removed, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota and West Virginia are incorrectly left in.

A second test case is needed for this problem. 'New York Nevada' should suffice.

I added another test, similar to the one suggested. Thanks for the comment Richard!

Terrible test suite. The test suite fails if you don't replace every removed entry with exactly one space.

The pass criteria should not be specific to the number of spaces that are left instead of the omitted state names. This beats the purpose of the exercise. There should either be no extra spaces left in the solutions, or it should not be specific to how the author of the challenge solved the problem.

Inconsistent behavior - if you are going to make a question like this, make it representative of what would actual be done and not some arbitrary undocumented rules like "replace a two-word state name with a space"
