I think it should be 11/10 (IIRC pullups are the harder).

Kipping pullups are not "cheating" if you set out to do kipping pullups. If you do kipping pullups and then tell people or even imply that they are just pullups, THAT'S cheating. I meant it only in the context of the current challenge, and anyway I am not talking about that kipping thing but about ...
