You right

clearly doesn't work anymore. the author has added more randomized test cases

Clever doesn't mean great..

How??

If I saw this in a codebase I would hunt you down and beat you about the head for making me think so hard as to what this does. This isn't a good code golf solution either as it's longer than several other solutions. interesting use of filter though!

I would assume that it would be the folks around here that appreciate recursion.
The time to process is probably the fastest of all solutions.
My solution as example had many many more iterations and is much slower.
I think it is a beautiful recursive work of art. I'm sure im not the only one...

LOL folks that probably equate least lines to "better practice". It is clever for sure though :]

Hey m8, how about function well(q,t='good', a=0){?

Your comment makes everything clear. Thank you!

I added your comment to the task description.

Who on earth voted this Best Practices?

hideous...

if was easy to port those solutions...

actually, it is. The only thing that didn't lead to more solves yet is that it's still in beta. ;)

B1ts seems to not considere it a duplicate

I do agree that input validation isn't fun and I wouldn't mind it removed, or at least some ridiculous cases like Infinity point one two three or something like that (iirc).

And yep, I lost all faith in fair rankings when I saw ZED ranking some xFS kata 8 kyu =/

Hi,

about sabotage, you can read this and thank ZED. The main problem leading to this is that there is no "team of ours", so anybody makes just as he wants, unfortunately, even if it's blatant trolling, yes.

cheers

Hi again,
I had put the spoiler flag because it had some spoiler details imo,
Im about to step out but ill make those changes when i get back.

In any case thank you again for your time.

Also NOT related but still valid..
This kata has been sabotaged as far as rating difficulty!
Someone on ur team rated this a 8 kyu! (the kata claimed to be similar by you is a 4 kyu)
This is def not a 8 kyu and as you know it is more involved than the other.

If this was not from a member on your team it would not be a issue with me.
However since this was from a member on your team i feel like:
Getting a bad rating as far as satisfaction is concerned is fine (to each his own)
but to be that disingenuous about the dificulty of the kata i feel is wrong!
