Looks like the output is random when you incognito.

Is there somewhere which gives an explanation of what I'm being graded on and why a given grade was assigned?

"Tell the world you're a C+ developer!" (sic)

it tells me, after reviewing my code, and saying my non-existent tests are excellent.

I think I'll demur.

Edit: looking at the source, C+ is meant to be the grade, not the language, which makes more sense, even if this is just a fun farce.

That's totally key IMO; even a link to the grading code would go some distance to that goal.

EDIT: Ok, I'm starting to think this whole site is some kind of a joke.

Read the bar at the bottom:

    Lovingly (and satirically) created by your friends at test double. Designed by Derek Briggs.

It's not meant to be serious, although I'm not sure what the point is.

Edit: It seems to be (perhaps unintentionally) clickbait for programmers. We can't seem to resist visiting a website that claims to rate our code quality.
