Sure. You have to solve it from inside out:
The huge coincidental part is that ඞ lies at a position that can be reached by a cumulative sum of integers between 0 and a given integer. From there on it's only a question of finding a way to feed that integer into chr(sum(range(x)))
Actually,
not
is an operator. It makes more sense if you writenot()
asnot ()
- the()
is an empty tuple. An empty tuple is falsy in Python, sonot ()
evaluates toTrue
.Thank you!
