Feature Request: filter out math-based kata. Because sometimes you just aren't in the mood.

Well I am just looking through the bugs because I thought it interesting reading after a submitted a bug seing if there is anything else in the site that anyone noticed the same thing but that is besides the purpose. I would just like to ask WHY filter out math kata. I mean you caN IN A WAY ON THE KATA SECTION BY CLICKING THE LINKS UNDER THAT HAVE THE NUMBERS TO HOW MANY OF WHAT TYPE OF KATA IS AVAILABLE FOR SAID LEVEL SELECTION OR JUST AL AROUND. back to normal text sry bout thast dont feel like typing it all again but why would you want to filter out math related kata. progrtamming in general has to do with math, mathematics should and I do believe is a fundemental of programming and concepts. many people do not like math I know but it is one of those areas, especially in programming that you should not overlook or try to dis-regard it is essential. and at one time was a core cxoncept in the learning of any and all programming languages, I mean as long as you dont use them new MathCore American standards of mathematics that is more like math de-education a siomple equation you could solve in your head, if asked to write on paper for proof of working it out may take 2 to 3 lines now days take 2 to 3 sheets of paper

@CaptainSpalding I've been programming professionally for about 13 years now, so it's not that I can't do them. More my issue is they represent a very significant % of code wars problems and I am tired of them. Yet another challenge with a number sequence. Programming has a lot more to do with logic than math in practice.

I want to do more problems like the "Connect Four" solver. I've been using codewars to practice C#, and the solutions to math & sequence kata are almost always a 1-liner in LINQ.

@samspot Cool Cool, I can see that. So you like more along the lines of Puzzles? I haven't done a lot of the C# challenges, have done a few, System.Linq may possibly be the most helpfull library of the language. I use Visual Studio the standards for C# seem to be more Mono on site, and C++ appears to be more objective. but I guess that all depends on what you are used to, Like when I play my guitar I am a Floyd Rose guy when it comes to my tremelo I can Shred and Dive bomb all day, but the same guitar with a Kahler Tremelo, neh. I just don't use the trem on that because it is way too different. Mono and VS coding style is not that drastically different I was just trying to think of an example way to visualize :) Have fun my friend. I will have to try to make kata sometimes, tried once but could figure how to make the test cases must have some API or something, I'm usually trying to "NOT READ" haha

I agree. For many programmers, their everyday business often doesn't involve math at all. Yet, codewars seems to be mainly about math puzzles. I was hoping to use codewars to learn how to solve certain problems with languages I'm not yet too familiar with and to hone my programming skills in general, but most of the time I feel like I'm just doing math assignments. As @samspot said, it would be great if we could filter those out.

Just as a comment, I've added the tag real-world to all my problems where I had to solve at work in a real life situation
