I didn't realize it would return without calling return. nice.

This is an elegant solution. I'd like to see a line comment that explains what's going on. The concept is slightly obfuscated.

Clear and easy to decipher what is going on. Good Job.

we spend most of our time reading code, not writing it.
do us and yourself a favor and learn to write readable code.

I can't figure out what they want exactly.
I'd like to see the example explained better.

I think it's a great first question for variable assignments.
Make a bunch more that go into more depth.
Using Lists, Tuples, Ints, Dicts, Strings.

have them setup a function that returns the variables etc...
Good Luck
