What? How u read this?

Great kata. Had to think about this one for a while. Probably should be a 6 kyu though.

Beautiful solution!

I guess, this kata is harder than some 5-6 kuy katas.
But i did it, finally....

_ = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"
__   = _[7]   # h
___  = _[4]   # e
____ = _[11]  # l

print(__ + ___ + ____ * 2)  # hell

can someone explain how this works?

It's so cool! I love it.

The sorting part of my first solution is a ugly hack but it still passes most of the time :

This is a 6 kyu problem: all you need to know is how to iterate on a list, some branching and how to use a dict

Looks cool :)

I would consider any kata where the solution is some particular order-n polynomial in the input to be a duplicate of all the other kata where the solution is some particular order-n polynomial in the input, especially if all coefficients turn out to be integers but for a factor of order! or 1<<order or something ( which will happen often if integer datapoints are given ).

Don't reason from the problem, reason from the solution.

Also, "different enough" is subjective, so people who have solved ( way ) more kata than you may reasonably have a different opinion on that. ( Or they could be entirely wrong and have only learned negative amounts of knowledge from their last several thousand kata. Half kidding. )

There was a one wrong test, I wrote 12 instead of 13. I've just gone and fixed it

bless you
