I wish there was an easier way to do this

I'll change the wording, fixed

I'll mark it as solved for now

Thank you for pointing these out

I'll add

I'll add

myscore is added to scores at the end in order to solve with the solve() function in the full test cases. Maybe I'm missing something?

Global Variables used as returns fixed, No renaming standard library functions fixed, Useless code fixed, Unneeded new list fixed

Please let me know what the last code (Generating a list of random values at the end of your reply) is for

Why create a new list only to use its length, when the length is already known?

a = b[0:n]
len(a)

 =>

n

Generate a list of n plus one different random values in range a,b:

myscore, *scores = sample(range(a, b), k=n+1)

Test code should be easily readable and follow language conventions. It may be mantained and/or used as a base for translations by other codewars users.

• Don't use global variables to return values. create_initial_scores (why "initial"?) should return generated values without altering global variables.

• Don't rename standard library functions without a good reason. All python users know what randint does, but no one know rnd without looking deinition (random? randint? randrange? user defined function?)

• Avoid useless code (/ is float division, no need to use float(a) / float(b))

... and the passed myscore will not be equal to any of the existing scores in scores.

In random tests myscore is always included in scores.

No fixed tests. Submission tests should have both fixed tests (a superset of sample tests) and random tests.

I think you need to add more test cases where Top% is exactly 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, 0.9 to avoid solutions like this.

Never mind, I figured it out. This kata is really making me question my abilities
