Code blocks are not present in the initial post. You use wrong markup: it should be triple backticks, and not triple apostrophes. Take a look at the documentation I linked, and see that Markdown code blocks use ``` and not ''' .

The code blocks are present in that post but for some reason the website keeps eliminating all formatting. Just now, I edited the post to include formatting Chrono79 showed me, but it still isn't formatting properly. If anyone sees the problem, please advise. Thanks guys!

Not using code blocks is the problem here, because if we cannot read the code, we cannot tell why it's wrong.

Solution failing tests is not a kata issue.

Please read this about how to use markdown formatting: https://docs.codewars.com/training/troubleshooting/#post-discourse

Reading Python code like that is nearly impossible.

JS never tests progressions with a negative gradient, Python does. This should probably be consistent across languages.

I know I may sound arrogant or boastful saying this, but I dont think this should be 3kyu. Its a cool idea, but in my opinion would be more at home at 5kyu.

It's interesting task, but easy to crack: inspect.getsource(preloaded) or with open('preloaded.py') as f: print(f.read()).

I know this is no fun but there is no reason to make people solve the mystery. This should be about programming, not encryption.

You have to use the results of the encoder to reverse engineer it and write a corresponding decoder. The example inputs are to give you some helpful insights into how the encoder actually works.

I am... confused. Where are the encrypted messages? As far as I can tell there's code showing example inputs to the Encoder::encode() function and a for loop making three strings from the result of the encode. Am I missing something?

It does not, it is rather strange and I don't know how to show a screenshot to show evidence.
