Can anyone explain this one?
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!
I think I remember Automate the Boring Stuff with Python explaining that python uses ASCIIbetical order, but it's been a minute since I read that book
When you parse that code, it presents this ඞ symbol, which looks close enough to the famous characters from Among Us, the viral video game.
What is the simbol supposed to be originally?

Silly me, I thought it was gay
That code point is U+0D9E SINHALA LETTER KANTAJA NAASIKYAYA. It's a letter in a writing system used in Sri Lanka.
Chr prints the unicode symbol associated with the inputted value (in python). The team name uses several operators to have the inputted value be the amogus character
