I love it. It goes to show why I love/hate Haskell. . Im pretty sure most of you just look at signatures(colors) only, further I think most of you just tried a couple of different options until "type" clicks.

It is pretty evident that during this you involve yourself in code puzzle / code golf. Rather than understanding the problem at hand. This is fine - until some of your "low-level" stuff leaks or your understanding of it leaks. There is also third possibility for failure - trusting the system too much, despite types being expressive they hide away a lot of "internal" logic, sometimes something looks the same, but it's not and type system doesn't capture it.
