My solution's algorithm is pretty similar, but I used descriptive variable names and added comments!
Every programmer can write codes that's understandable by computers,
a good programmer writes codes that's understandable by humans...

Don't hesitate to fork it.
If you can make it clearer by refactoring the algorithm - not only by adding comments, I'm sure it will beneficiate to other users

Solution is certainly clever, but "best practices"? It's barely readable.

I've actually seen solutions like this before, but I still don't fully understand them...

omg why is it so hard for me to understand

wat? :O

I think its fine. Should there be other iterations under different katas, sure.
But for someone who is brand new to codeing getting exposure to the basics and googling for answers is a great start because starting anywhere is great.

Just assigning the function to another... Brilliant.

It could at least inroduce a simple way of usage.
No point making challenge for showing one there is a method.
If you want to show it, make a challenge where it is used and give a link to a material or mention the method.
