Haskell and JavaScript: yes.

Tests are language-specific, so mentioning the language you're having this question in would be useful. Help us help you!

Closing.

Your solution is absolutely wrong. It's about the separate values on the board, not their sums.

I wonder if something like cytoolz would help brute force

You are terribly wrong here accusing the author of this kata in some sort of deceit. g964 spent time creating this interesting kata.
It's not kyu 8 kata, it's kyu 5 and all kata of this level are expected to be solved by a more advanced algorithm than a brute force one. If you are expecting naive algorithms, maybe it's not a bad idea to try kata kyu 7-8.

dunno about clojure, but in python, yes.

(def data [
  {:name "Joe" :age 20}
  {:name "Bill" :age 30}
  {:name "Kate" :age 23}
])

the tests are designed to fail for bruteforce solutions

Not at all... The tests are almost the same in all languages and note that 4791 guys passed the kata.

the example tests have deceivingly small numbers

Not a problem. You can add tests with bigger numbers (maybe trying first on a sheet of paper and a bit of thinking).

It is a question, not an issue (note at the top of the page that 42 guys passed the Clojure translation).
