Writing hundreds of flawed methods for one question which don't reach the desired answer, but just announce that they do anyway, gets you zero marks.
The fact that you've written hundreds of methods also betrays your own lack of confidence in any of them individually.
Does that really follow necessarily, rob?
What if I actually have confidence in all of them?
