Challenge #373: Fish and Chips, Anyone?

[rbrown]

This instruction/hint doesn't make sense to me:   If you come across a record that combines 2 years into a single record, for example 201516 or 2021-22, divide the value equally and generate a record for each year.

If they are averages, how does dividing them in half help?  I was able to get the same answer as the solution by doing that, but it didn't make a lot of sense - an average over 2 years is not the same as 2x one year's average.  Am I missing something?

agreed, this didn't make sense to me either

Here's my solution. The directions about the value splitting are unclear to me. However, I was able to get the same output as the sample.

Like everyone else, without values to compare, you're left to just decide your result with directions that leave room for interpretation.  

I'm fairly confident in my approach, but it left me with a different year for fish.  Not a fan of the directions or the provided answer without values to validate.
