That's true, but you should remember it's a linguistic experiment, not a 
Python programming contest. The task is not to "do that thing in the best 
possible way", but to "fill in the gaps". You should just try to understand 
what the "original programmer" did and to complete the program in such way. 

Real problems here lie in the webapp implementation: it should check for 
javascript *before* beginning the test (I have noscript enabled, and had to 
give permission to the site, hence it took me far more time to complete the 
test since I was just clicking but obtaining nothing) and should state more 
clearly that it just needs the number of letters as the output (this should 
be related to scripteaze problem) without any other character. Error 
messages are pretty counter-intuitive.
