Thanks! noted

I don't want to be rude either (luci, you solved the kata, good job). However this code is awful. An important concept in programming is "DRY", which stands for: don't repeat yourself. This video explains it adequately: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IGH4-ZhfVDk

Why is it closer?

7x7 needs to have an efficient code.

solutions of 6x6 may be too slow to pass 7x7's tests if not "well concieved"

5x5 for more honor? :P

That wouldn't have any interest because it wouldn't bring anything new.

• 4x4 allows brute force
• 6x6 forbids brute force
• 7x7 needs to have an efficient code.

So, what for the 5x5?

I have 5 full months of Python so I worked with what I knew .
Anyway the ask was to resolve, not to make it fast or beautiful.
Make more difficult kata for this grade .

Thanks a lot!
