This is a really poorly worded task I feel. Punctuation marks = [!"\#$%&'()*+,\-./:;<=>?@\[\\\]^_‘{|}~] However the task has us pass by removing other characters all together.

.
String.replaceAll ("\\p{Punct}", "");
is what you want here.

PRO TIP After 14 attempts I discover that you are not to class a space as a punctuation mark.

Spent some time trying to understand the reason of validation timeout. It doesn't like 
while ((b = input.read()) != -1)
and works ok with ready() 
while (input.ready())
Does anybody know why?
