Your items do not have a preceding-sibling::metadata element.

You should write preceding-sibling::item/metadata/solution.

Even then, with multiple solutions in one item, it's wrong. It will
select all the solutions in one item if none of them is the same as a
solution in a previous item; but if one solution is the same and others
are different, none of them will be selected.

I recommend you use the Muenchian technique instead.
