# --description--
For the second day of Space Week, you are given a string where each character represents the luminosity reading of a star. Determine if the readings have detected an exoplanet using the transit method. The transit method is when a planet passes in front of a star, reducing its observed luminosity.
- Luminosity readings only comprise of characters `0-9` and `A-Z` where each reading corresponds to the following numerical values:
- Characters `0-9` correspond to luminosity levels `0-9`.
- Characters `A-Z` correspond to luminosity levels `10-35`.
A star is considered to have an exoplanet if any single reading is less than or equal to 80% of the average of all readings. For example, if the average luminosity of a star is 10, it would be considered to have a exoplanet if any single reading is 8 or less.
# --hints--
`hasExoplanet("665544554")` should return `false`.
```js
assert.isFalse(hasExoplanet("665544554"));
```
`hasExoplanet("FGFFCFFGG")` should return `true`.
```js
assert.isTrue(hasExoplanet("FGFFCFFGG"));
```
`hasExoplanet("MONOPLONOMONPLNOMPNOMP")` should return `false`.
```js
assert.isFalse(hasExoplanet("MONOPLONOMONPLNOMPNOMP"));
```
`hasExoplanet("FREECODECAMP")` should return `true`.
```js
assert.isTrue(hasExoplanet("FREECODECAMP"));
```
`hasExoplanet("9AB98AB9BC98A")` should return `false`.
```js
assert.isFalse(hasExoplanet("9AB98AB9BC98A"));
```
`hasExoplanet("ZXXWYZXYWYXZEGZXWYZXYGEE")` should return `true`.
```js
assert.isTrue(hasExoplanet("ZXXWYZXYWYXZEGZXWYZXYGEE"));
```

# --solutions--
```js

let total = 0;
const values = readings.split('').map(c => parseInt(c, 36));
total = values.reduce((sum, v) => sum + v, 0);
const average = total / values.length;
const threshold = average * 0.8;
return values.some(v => v <= threshold);
}
