You should pay attention to when a post made, that's called gravedigging.

I'm tempted to try this but on the other hand I despise these cramitallintooelineit'llmakeitsomuchbetterandinfinetlyeasiertoread challenges.

After 2 years already, totally helpful!

I'm not convinced that I like the idea of making code as short as humanlý possible. What about readability isn't that far more important?

Well having dug into this a little more I get the concept, it's anoyingly captivating. I may have to give your contact details to my boss.

I'm not even geting what it is that should be returned, the whole concept is lost on me. I like puzzles but this one I can't get a handle on.

Python fails with this error message...

    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "main.py", line 51, in <module>
        do_test()
      File "main.py", line 17, in do_test
        from random import randint, choices, shuffle
    ImportError: cannot import name choices

Very funny! I run the script from my box and all is working as expected then I try to run it through the website and it fails. After 10 minute troublshooting the issue it turns out that the codewars LDB page just now decided to give up the ghost!

Can you please try again to explain what you are looking for? I simply do not understand what is asked here...

The solution is not my own I only wanted to test if that solution was working and why it is so much faster than my solutions (3). Unfortunately I still can't see why this solution is faster then mine even though it certainly is.

I dislike this challenge immensely. There was no way to make the site show the input. It just kept timing out with no way to track this. In the end I opted, for the first time ever, into unlocking the solution. Funny enough my code worked just like a charm after adopting some error trapping that I could have done very easily if I’d gotten the input.

make a python version and I share a Python3 winding number solution

Oh you tricked me again! I only read the email and wrote it in Python. Only to discover that python isn't one of the accepted languages...

Can I please ask that noone takes my solution to this serious? I'm just in rebellious mode and tried to create a really nincely botched solution :D
