Hi, my code kept failing the get_cousin_dist() part. it is passing the tests until (B, D).

From what i understood, to find the degree value of 2 individuals, I have to find the generation distance between their common ancestor and the originator. For example: the pair D and E they have the common ancestor B, and the generation distance between B and Originator A is 0. So the degree value is 0.

And if their common ancestor is the Originator itself, then take the larger distance as the degree. For example: the pair B and F the generation distance from B to A is 0, and the distance from F to A is 1, so the degree value is 1.

But for the pair B and D, B itself is the ancestor of D, the pair's expected degree value is 0. Clearly the "B to A is 0, D to A is 1, so take 1" method isn't working here. So I thought, then B itself would be their common ancestor? B to A is 0, and the expected value is 0, it seems to be working.

But then there's the pair B and J, their expected degree value is 1. B is also the ancestor of J. B to A is 0, J to A is 2, but the expected value isn't 2. And going with b is the common ancestor, the expected value isn't 0 either.

So I am genuinely confused on why the expected degree value of (B, D) is 0, and for (B, J) is 1.
