the order of the solution does not change the factors. Great.

Non-optimal run-time

OP's solution is better imo. More readable, and doesn't add clutter (Not that yours does)

exactly what i did

Yours is nice, though mine is a bit shorter.

using the reverse arguement in sorted() should be the best practice for checking order.

It's a good practice to specify exception type if you know it.

nice, never knew this concept.

I feel like this should be rated higher. Very readable and makes sense.

Fixed.

It also doesn't say anything about having lists. (Python version)

Second that, probably it is was an incomplete last minute injection, but still an annoying error.
