Difficulty level (1-10): [4]
Estimated time spent (hours): [4]
Completed (yes/no): [Yes]
I stretched my coding skills (if yes what did you learn?): [The first two functions were pretty straightforward - but it took a bit of searching and iteration for the last function as difflib was entirely new to me, and this is the first time I'd used product from the itertools library. Used sorted and set to reduce the number of items returned by product.
I found this to be a good demonstration of their utility - and the tests helped to improve/guide my understanding - though in all honesty my attempt was an iterative "bashing" against the test and without those, I wouldn't have got it to work! (so thank you for the tests)]
Other feedback (what can we improve?): [In cloning the repo and going in to the folders on my computer - I was making a start there (using VS Code on Windows 10). The Readme.md files have instructions which point to the "https://pybit.es/codechallenge03.html" page - which isn't the same information as "https://codechalleng.es/challenges/3/". It took a while (and actually a hint from @Volkmar) to find these instructions and then go through them.
Also - Bob's video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vJsyLSZxqVw&feature=youtu.be) was really helpful - a more prominent link to this would be good for the newbies/less confident coders like myself.
I think adding/updating these links would be good.]
