You are correct, it’s not needed, but at least it solves the issue of people claiming that the instructions imply that if A == B, then A should also be a sublist of B. The current instructions only state that A and B should be equal (in the examples).
Is there maintainer consensus for only adding the word contiguous on two lines, and making no other change?
The current instructions can send students in the wrong direction, adding contiguous is sufficient to address that.
I think students will already understand the expected result when the lists are equal.
That sounds good to me.
I agree. For the purposes of this exercise, adding contiguous should suffice.
Yes. Due to historic PS fights I think. This basically defused disagreements by giving me/Erik the final word.
We could probably rethink that though. There’s less fights these days
