Nice! I took about 93 lines... this is a much more creative solution. Good job!

Yes it is an interesting solution. May you use a dictionary to write the parentheses couple only once.

Great solution. I was trying to do something like this but didn't find the right approach.

Creative and memory efficient solution. It took me a while to figure out the term for the while loop. If i got it correct you are looking for an adjacent opposing parenthesis, correct?

So nice! It's easy to understand and good learning opportunity for me!

Very short and simple indeed. I particularily like the "while" condition.
