    The premise of this kata is essentially to model a random event exactly as the reference solution does, which is clearly very flawed. A solution which has a perfectly valid model of the game described can be rejected purely because its solution uses random in a slightly different way to the author, or even because it uses some other source of randomness.

    A simple example of a solution which models the game accurately but is rejected:

    from random import randint
def play():
    rounds = 1
    # The correct suitcase is labelled 0
    while randint(0, 10-rounds) > 0:
        rounds += 1
    return rounds

      I added the restriction that both players must independently and randomly select a suitcase each round. Additionally, we now use our own custom random generator for all random selections, and I've limited the randomization to this model specifically—avoiding other sources like np.random, etc., to ensure consistency.

    Tests should import random explicitly, rather than relying on the user's solution to do that

    I don't think the description should state that you need a recursive function.

    Some of the solutions don't use a recursive function, that's only one way of solving the kata
