this is just absurd. Why has this been allowed to remain...

This kata represents everything wrong with this site: poorly described math problem masquerading as coding

Not an actionable issue. Closing.

If you want this kata reranked, please raise an issue on https://github.com/codewars/content-issues

Sprint meetings & scrum ceremonies, for instance.

What I agree with: it should not be ranked 8 kyu.

What I do not agree with: I don't think it is a math trick question. It is a research task. I believe that working on this task and solving it can be a huge step forward in learning coding, because it trains really, really important skill: problem analysis. Calling it "just a math task" strips programming skill out of its analysis and research aspect, and analysis and research are essential skills of a coder. Coding is not just the ability to write if and while and class into code editor, there is much more to coding than writing code.

A KNOWN Wilson prime, actually. This kata applies only to them.

This is NOT a kata, this is a math trick question! For a beginner this will waste their time and only get them to quit, which is the opposite the point of an 8 kyu kata!

While some appreciate the cleverness of this kata, this is only causing people to think they're bad at coding which is very wrong and against the purpose of what katas are, to train them to be better.

Well, sometimes you need to be lazy

Google what is a Wilson prime number before you get mad at the kata like me.

it is my mistake, :( labeling wrong, it should be suggestions :)

What's the issue here, exactly?

for c++ it is not exactly 8kyu problem, it is not about question complexity , it is all about how to handle unless you exceed problem

Java && Python && Ruby:

Missing following fixed tests, causing Incorrect Java solution && incorrect Python solution && incorreect Ruby solution to bypass

x^-1

-x^-1

Acually it does "Your task is to create a function that..." implies to calculate the solution no "find" a trick to pass the tests (Even sample tests suggests I have to perform calculations). And I get it, I'm new here and assumed ever challenge requires you to write a code, not return one word/number because there is a trick to the challenge. I guess I learned that if challenge is too hard for its rank there may be a trick to it. ( But still author should not be lazy and write a real solution for 536! so I can learn something ;P ) Cheers

No, the challenge does not ask you to do any of this. The method you use to solve is irrelevant (as long as it's not cheating). If you want to solve it by calculating 536! then go ahead, but this challenge can be solved without calculating 536!, in a way which can be deemed 8 kyu.
