I don't why this does not pass, case 10 fails, even though this number is not divisible by 8 despite the case saying it does. Furthermore, I pass case 16 which has case 10 referenced but fail case 15 with the same case 10.

Any suggestions please!

Look *very* carefully at your definition of eightTable, and look at the last three digits of case 10.

Thank James, obvious now that you said it :)
