Really nice solution. It's always a pleasure to learn from others with more skill - bravo!

What do you mean by chunks? Chunks variable in his code is a list, which you also used for the same purpose in your code.

I am somewhat new to Python and this is the first 4 kyu kata I am able to solve. Is there any reason why everyone uses "chunks" in their code?

At first glance this threw me for a loop, but after reading the comments and taking some time to understand this, I'm glad places like this exist. I think I took the same approach for determining numbers but it took me 60+ lines to do it.

but why

cool

It looks short and cool, but it works very slowly, because of brute force and sort :(

Yours is very nice!

excellent

The answer is simple: it does not.

Nice. This was what I had in my mind for the first 20 minutes of trying to solve this one!

I don't understand the difference between len(word) > i + 1 and len(word) > i in this case would you mind explaining me please ? For me it does the exact same thing and i can't figure how it manage the shortest words :/

Can you please provide an expanded of version ( without list comprhension ) of this code, it looks very interesting, however i have difficulty expanding it :/

That's very kind of you Lucas. I only started learning python a few weeks ago and probably diving in too much to things when I don't have the real basics down without thinking about them. These katas are fun but usually I end up writing what I call "BASIC" brute force solutions using python, at least I sometimes have an idea "how" it should work, like this solution here I had made notes along those lines but whereas this person actually implemented it so cleanly I ended up with a big mess of code trying to handle specific cases

so seeing how you guys get on is kind of inspiring AND depressing at the same time :)

You are well on your way to being a great programmer. You don't lack an innate capability or intelligence if you got this far!
