Gets the job done in the real world but it doesn't test your skills

if these are all numbers within the limits of maximum integers for variables a, b which Python can hold in a variable - computationally, it is the most efficient solution, isn't it?

yeah

Would this be considered cheating?

I don't get it: what fails with large numbers? I assume the translation is ok, so what I need to know before approving it?

All fixed, sorry for the inconvenience!

Fixed, try now!

Fixed, thanks for your feed and see if anything else happens again :)

Try now, it should be fixed :)

Fixed, thanks!

The test case for [1,7], [1,8] in the Javascript kata is wrong. It is expecting 1 when it should expect 0.

Ahh ok, I thought it might be, but I was unsure which numbers were being tested, I guess i'll come back to it, ta!

I believe this is actually an issue with the test cases themselves, as some people have pointed out already.
The test case in question uses the parameters [1, 7] and [1, 8], which should return 0 but the test case wrongly expects 1.

See below. This has been reported twice already ^^".
