First solution in Clear category for Achilles and the Tortoise by ciel

chase=lambda a,b,c:a*c/(a-b)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    #These "asserts" using only for self-checking and not necessary for auto-testing
    def almost_equal(checked, correct, significant_digits):
        precision = 0.1 ** significant_digits
        return correct - precision < checked < correct + precision

    assert almost_equal(chase(6, 3, 2), 4, 8), "example"
    assert almost_equal(chase(10, 1, 10), 11.111111111, 8), "long number"

Some whitespace would actually make it more clear IMO.

More unreadable than clear to me...

Not very clear in my opinion. a, b, c are not good variable names... And I really dislike this use of lambda functions.

Why do you dislike this use of lambda functions?

It's been 2 years, and I can't remember why I said that ^^. I love your solution !
