This would be true, but look at this solution by anter69: https://www.codewars.com/kata/reviews/55a126285554cb03800000a2/groups/5e29d308a7786100014451be

Could be people copying answers they want to dissect and understand better and then clicking "Submit" to run against the attempt test cases instead of forking them.

Most people like small solutions rather than the efficient ones

because people tend to value short code over fast code, just the way it is

I think when they were unable to make it, unlocked solutions and copied to see how it works

in fact, this imports still the whole module technically speaking

did not know that, cool! thx

For example. When I was at the university, together with the teacher, we solved with the whole group.I don’t support copying solutions, then you don’t remember anything.

probably wasn't. but still congrats to them for writing this in 5 lines when it took most others tens of lines.

That was indeed in the kata at first, but I found it as pointless so I removed it. Thanks for your suggestion, I'll make sure I add it when I get home! :)

Everyone can vote for whatever he fancies. If you're not happy with top voted solutions, vote for others you prefer. What happens actually is that first submitted solutions tend to be more voted (because they are the first available, and once a solution gets more votes than others, is stays on the top, so it continues getting votes from users who just have a quick look on top solutions and do not scroll to search pearls among others). Also, solutions of power users tend to be higher in the solutions. Anyway, being a top solution is not a guarantee of anything. On CW many times short/smart (or not) codes are more voted than really good practice (very often best practice solutions are not good practices at all...).

Because people voted for it.
