I had everything correct. All I needed to do was one small thing (that I 100% knew how to do) and it would have been fine. And I gave up right before figuring out the answer.
Very embarrasing since I managed to solve the 1-kyu Javascript version without too much trouble, although now that I understand what I needed to do, I do think that overall the kata was pretty good!
This was not fun. For more experienced python people, it was probably easy. No way of guessing at the solution on this. Even after seeing the solution, not sure I get it still.
I threw in the towel and unlocked the solutions, and seeing other solutions I can understand where you are coming from. It's hard to classify what you might hint towards without spoilers, maybe an understanding of classes under the hood...?
Guess it's one of those things that you either you know, don't know, or know but not well enough to apply to the problem. I clearly didn't fall into the first category!
Interesting kata which I definitely learnt from, even if I didn't get the satisfaction of solving it.
umm, sorry, I'm not too sure what you are saying. Do you want me to add some reading link in the description as a hint? I don't know which one and is it really worth..
Unless I am going off at a complete tangent by delving into how types work, I'd suggest that as a 6 kyu, this really ought to have some pointers on background reading to help people learn. Again, if my assumption holds, this isn't everyday stuff.
yep, don't give up too soon, i still have some katas scratching my head in my todos for a couple of years.
anyway, glad you liked it <3
Ughhh, I'm so stupid.

I was in favour of 5 kyu when we discussed the ranking of this kata on discord. I will certainly discard the outliers next time.
I would have discarted that 7 kyu vote.
Tests now fail this solution. I think it remains visible because it has upvotes.
This function incorrectly returns
Truefor these characters between 'Z' and 'a':ty <3
python new test framework is required. updated in this fork
hm, not sure. I literally got an idea for this kata from just discovering
dir()! and I suppose I would go that route if I were the one to solveI threw in the towel and unlocked the solutions, and seeing other solutions I can understand where you are coming from.

tysm! really close to 5 kyu :D
when will this get approved?
