Being the duffer that I am, I'm very pleased with myself that I came up
with a similar solution (albeit as a function rather than a list
comprehension) :)
You do not need the if statement either,
Yeah, I never knew about the max() function!
I noticed someone else used it in one of their solutions.
I'm pretty sure I've seen it a lot before, just didn't remember it.
