      It's not best practice. but people don't know better and vote anyway.

      the author didn't explicitly prevent this, so in my opinion it is a valid solution.

      "erm, actually"
      For real tho, i think this needs some kind of "do not account in rating" button. Not exactly a downvote one, because this crap is hilarious from time to time

      Agreed 100%, as it uses solutions which had to be solved. The purpose of the exercise is surely working out how to solve it. It's silly that Codewars is allowing this solution, especially for a 4 Kata. I guess cheaters win ey.

      How is this rated best practice? There should be a downvote button or a cheated button.

      Could be, should be, but it isn't. It's an old kata, and back then this was considered 6 kyu.

      This is way too easy for a 6 kata. Compared with "Simple Fun #295: Guess Number" for example, which I've still yet to complete, because it requires not only knowledge of Python functions (like this kata), but also knowledge of math, and also requires a lot of optimization. This on the other hand, took me less than 1 minute to complete, and is just basic string manipulation. Should be 7 kata.

      Yeah but then it wouldn't be a 1 line solution. 👀 Can't be having a best practice solution on Codewars that's more than 1 line long!
