eval is evil

And also, this solution is anything but "Clear" :) As usual, Checkio users choose to completely ignore the category in which they post their solutions.

Being short is a way to reduce complexity. On the other end some think they should write a class just for this. TL;DR

Hi Vincent, "Being short is a way to reduce complexity"... for the machine. Sometimes, anyway. For regular human beings tasked with maintaining a codebase, readability is what reduces complexity. And thoughtful comments for any code segments that are for some reason hard to refactor for readability.

aren't we here to learn? I hardly look a code that cover multiple screens - mine is 14'' :) - so personlly i'm mainly interessted in compactness an the ideas that lead to them.

Now that it is published under the "Creative" category I have no complaints at all :-)

You may execute and hoc code in a web worker quite safely. eval shows just the idea and isn't ment for production.
