Despite the kata instructions saying to include your own scores, it is not necessary.

Wow, it's so laconically :) Interesting task!

i really didnt want this to be true , but well done .

Your points are not included in the array of your class's points. Do not forget them when calculating the average score!

I like tha math. I was assuming this is incorrect becuase of leaving your_points. But later, I realized that this is mathematically correct.Thanks to @Idiot_with_a_shovel - https://www.codewars.com/users/Idiot_with_a_shovel

kata included instructions to not calculate the user into the average

This is incorrect. by not including your_points, you are not really calculating the average of the class

If you're like me and read this comment and don't get the math explanation - plain english one is that if you add your points to the class average and your points cause that average to rise - that by default means your score was higher than the average of the class. That's why you don't need to add it in this particular example.

True, but this was probably a really old answer. That's why I think Codewars shouldn't obfuscate dates. I don't know how exactly, but I'm sure there's a way to solve the issue of really outdated answers (that were great at the time) being presented as best practices to beginners especially in JS and Python katas.

guess what? I am noob no.1

Wrong algebra. Cod is working perfect but statistic results will unpredictable for small classes. You shoul add your points and yourself to class points see description

Say your peers scores are x1, x2,..., x{n-1}, and yours is a.
Then you want to show that a is greater than the average, written as an inequality you get:

(x1 + x2 + ... + x{n-1} + a) / n < a

Where n is the total number of grades including yours.

Now multiply both sides by n to get

x1 + x2 + ... + x{n-1} +a < n * a

Subtract a on both sides

x1 + x2 + ... + x{n-1} < (n - 1) * a

Now divide by (n - 1)

(x1 + x2 + ... + x{n-1}) / (n - 1) < a

The LHS is the average of the scores without taking into acount your score.

Hope this helps :-)
