Ok, first read, then type. Sorry ;) It wasn't in the original, because everything was at one line. In that case I think my concern is valid. Did you investigate how much other solutions are affected by this? I think it would be a shame if this exercise changed by this, such that only this hardcode-solution works.

Related, @kytrinyx, should we maybe have multiple examples? I think some of the exercises are mostly interesting because there are several good solutions, with different trade-offs, and the exercise should (imo) only be changed if this still keeps these possible solutions.
