Hi,
This kind of kata is mostly doomed, especially in dynamic languages, like python, js or ruby, which are way too much flexible. I don't think you should keep this one published.
Cheers
How do people limit this in other code golf katas?
I will keep it open for now to see if I could find a reliable way to restrict. Will probably close later because people are not liking it
I wonder whether it is possible to still break it
Good old cheat: cheat
A variation of my first one: variation
Python gives a LOT of way to do that.
We've already tried a lot to enforce this kind of things. In those languages it's close to impossible and at some point:
Well, that is unfortunate. Thanks for the information tho. I will avoid making kata tasks that require creating already existing functions. Probably will specialize in math katas, as they are harder to cheat
You forgot to forbid that one: cheat
Needs
restrictedtagWhat the author intended for the kata is a duplicate to katas such as https://www.codewars.com/kata/584d618d52ee401a82000a05.
In any case, this solution exists and I think it's in the author's interest to patch this.

Either way I am going to add this kata you pointed to the description as a kata with less constraints that the person should try completing before
