Beautiful Kata, thank you.

Really interesting kata to figure out, funny and challenging.

I don't think it is reasonable to have a 7 kyu expect the individual to know about varargs to answer the question. While there is exploration in that space (pulling out n, then ..., rather than just ...) and your title is a subtle hint, I feel it is a bit "haha gotcha, made you google it" for people already not familiar with that syntax. If solving the input is part of your problem space, I would outline that in the details. You can even frame it like a story, "I am having trouble naming the input, so I left it blank for now....".

What is the desired outcome if only 1 argument is given in the test?

Done in this fork

Python: In the description it says: He told you that the sub function may or may not be here, if no sub-function return undefined, ...

The undefined part of sentence should be replaced by e.g. an empty string in Python

I found quite a few, you arrogant dutch-man:

• The example shows the quota as a ceiled integer, is that for display purposes or hidden spec that we need to ceil total votes over total seats?
• You don't explain which method of "highest average of votes per seat" to use. Only in the wiki page there is a reference to the method used in Dutch elections. I'm not even sure you use that one.
• You don't explain whether continious updates of seats should be used in assigning residual votes, or a snapshot should be taken a priori, both in first phase, as in recalculation of seats in coalitions.

hm... didn't think that such a simple pattern would work. but okay i guess.

It should be fixed.

Try again with your previous code, close the issue if it is fixed.

Probably, because your current code works and doesn't mutate the input array.

Some of the random testing in JS seems a bit off.

  ["w","8","k","g","s","3","4","m","1","V","D",
   "r", // <--
   "A","L","t","u","l","n","E","z","q",
   "r", // <--
   "Y","F"]
   
   ["Q", // <--
   "0","g",
   "Q",  // <--
   "3","q","m","n","9","L","W","9","Z","H","e","J","g","I","a","n","B"]

Expected: false. Actual: true.

Not sure if it could be related to the same input modification issue that another user mentioned regarding Python,
as my solution does modify the items input array.

performance issue fixed
