Hey man... Did you check the tests one-by-one?
According to the example in the instructions, we have to take an input number, and the base of the expansion is the length of that number... Right? And then calculate for each digit of the input number: base^digit.
But in some tests it fails... For example, when we take the number 12, the base is 2, so we get: 2^1 + 2^2 = 2 + 4 = 6, but the test isnarcissistic(12) returns True instead of False.
Why is the base 2? Try it with base 3. You may need to check many bases to know the final result.
It seems you didn't really understand the task, and tests seem to be fine. That's not a kata issue.
This sentence is incorrect, and the task is different from what is said here. Also, this has nothing to do with narcissistic numbers.
Why should it have nothing to do with narcissistic numbers? Narcissistic numbers also include numbers where the exponent is changed.
Which title would you then suggest for the katar?
What? A narcissistic number by definition is a number where the following equation is true:
sum(digit**len(number) for digit in number) == number. You're asking for a completely different thing.
