Though I am kinda beginner in Python, maybe this is the reason 🤷‍♂️

Agreed. This ambiguity had me scratching my head for a while.

nope: it's short, but inefficient like hell... x) (and runs only in python 2.7)

it doesn't appear to be a requirement of approving a kata that the moderator has solved it

It's actually highly discouraged to moderate a kata without solving it, please always solve it first. It's quite a bad idea to moderate a kata without solving it - what if you find a bug just trying to solve it? 😉

set the ranking based off the power-user average assessed rank

But remember that the average rank doesn't mean too much anymore, as ZED is trolling the ranks (see https://github.com/Codewars/codewars.com/issues/1939)

I saw you've modified the ranking of a kata i submitted without even solving it.
This doesn't seem very logical to me.
Any explanation ?
The kata is "Castle of Cubes"
