A totally unnecessary creation of a tuple and a function call instead of a straight-forward 'or' expression. Can we make this simple task even more obfuscated? not all( (i%3 != 0, i%5 !=0) ) Still not convoluted enough. all( (sum(int(c) for c in str(i))%3 in (1, 2), str(i).endswith(chr(53)) - 1, str(i).endswith(chr(48)) - 1) ) - 1 Hmmm... how can I get rid of that pesky %3? all( (divmod( sum(int(c) for c in str(i)), 41^42)[1] in (1, 2), str(i).endswith(chr(53)) - 1, str(i).endswith(chr(48)) - 1) ) - 1 Okay, that makes my brain hurt.
