ha, you could say that. I mostly only monitor beta keta these days. Looking forward to what you've got.

kind of, my progress has slowed down a lot in the last 2 years.

a few ways:

• call the reference solution (your solution) before the user's solution when running the tests
• use a copy of the list as inputs: lst[:] when running the tests

i think there's still an issue. I'm on a phone and debugging is a pain, but here's an example.

expected 'kkkk\nkkkkk\nkkkkkk\nkkkkkkk\nkkkkkkkkk\nkkkkkkkkkkk\nkkkkkkkkkkkk\nkkkkkkkkkkkkk\nkkkkkkkkkkkkkk\nkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk\nkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk\nkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk\nkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk\nkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk\nkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk\nkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk\nkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk\nkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk\nkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk\nkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk\nkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk\nkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk\nkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk\nkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk\nkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk\nkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk\nkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk\nkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk\nkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk\nkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk\nkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk\nkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk\nkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk\nkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk\nkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk\nkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk\nkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk\nkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk\nkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk\nkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk\nkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk\nkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk\nkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk\nkkkkkkkkkkkkkk\nkkkkkkkkkkkkk\nkkkkkkkkkkkk\nkkkkkkkkkkk\nkkkkkkkkk\nkkkkkk\nkkkk' to equal 'kkkk\nkkkkk\nkkkkkk\nkkkkkkk\nkkkkkkkkk\nkkkkkkkkkkk\nkkkkkkkkkkkk\nkkkkkkkkkkkkk\nkkkkkkkkkkkkkk\nkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk\nkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk\nkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk\nkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk\nkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk\nkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk\nkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk\nkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk\nkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk\nkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk\nkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk\nkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk\nkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk\nkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk\nkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk\nkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk\nkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk\nkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk\nkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk\nkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk\nkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk\nkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk\nkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk\nkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk\nkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk\nkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk\nkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk\nkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk\nkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk\nkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk\nkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk\nkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk\nkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk\nkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk\nkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk\nkkkkkkkkkkkkkk\nkkkkkkkkkkkkk\nkkkkkkkkkkkk\nkkkkkkkkkkk\nkkkkkkkkk\nkkkkkk\nkkkk'

I believe there's still an issue with removing duplicate largest lines:

improper use of the codewars testing framework.

Please read how to author content: https://docs.codewars.com/languages/python/authoring

missing sample tests (and likely random tests as well)

spelling mistake in tests:

'partipicative' => 'participative'

are the random tests even generating proper molecules?. If I print the first 10 chars I get things like "H)4305C)59".

Very nice! Liked this one a lot.

• it looks like you've put the starter code in preloaded (it shouldn't be here as there's nothing this kata needs to be preloaded)
• the kata should be written in English
• this isn't a novel idea for a kata (it's been done before and is a duplicate)

The expected sorting isn't correct:

[[3, 4, 5], [5, 12, 13], [11, 60, 61], [16, 63, 65], [30, 40, 50], [40, 75, 85], [60, 63, 87], [60, 80, 100], [75, 100, 125]] should equal [[3, 4, 5], [5, 12, 13], [11, 60, 61], [60, 63, 87], [16, 63, 65], [60, 80, 100], [40, 75, 85], [75, 100, 125], [30, 40, 50]]

same. Even following along with the "video" the author describes, my solution passes around 30 per run.

the kata description already mentions this detail

Approved. Thank you!
