One Very Important User (VIU) has a Very Confidential Document (VCD) stored on his Dropbox account. 
He doesn't let anyone see the VCD, especially his roommates who often have access to his devices.

Opening the Dropbox mobile app on the VIU's tablet requires a four-digit passcode. To ensure the confidentiality of 
the stored information, the device is locked out of Dropbox after 10 consecutive failed passcode attempts. We need 
to implement a function that given an array of attempts made throughout the day and the correct passcode checks to 
see if the device should be locked, i.e. 10 or more consecutive failed passcode attempts were made.

Example

For
passcode = "1111" and

attempts = ["1111", "4444",
            "9999", "3333",
            "8888", "2222",
            "7777", "0000",
            "6666", "7285",
            "5555", "1111"]
the output should be
incorrectPasscodeAttempts(passcode, attempts) = true.

The first attempt is correct, so the user must have successfully logged in. However, the next 10 consecutive attempts 
are incorrect, so the device should be locked. Thus, the output should be true.

Input/Output

[execution time limit] 4 seconds (py)

[input] string passcode

String consisting of exactly 4 digits representing the correct passcode.

Guaranteed constraints:
passcode.length = 4.

[input] array.string attempts

Array representing the passcode attempts in the order they were made. Each element of attempts is a string 
consisting of exactly 4 digits.

Guaranteed constraints:
0 ≤ attempts.length ≤ 20,
attempts[i].length = 4.

[output] boolean

true if 10 or more consecutive failed passcode attempts were made, false otherwise.
