I am relatively new to Haskell.

Somebody told me that it is a very good language, because all the people on its mailing list are so nice that they solve all homeworks, even quite silly, of all students around, provided they ask for a solution in Haskell.

Is that true, or a little exaggerated?

Ah, but (i) not all the solutions are correct (sorry Ashley); and (ii) some of the solutions should be recognisable by markers as not the work of a newbie (explicit import lists, map, ...). Essentially, though, your friend is correct. --KW 8-)
