I'm not sure if this is intentional or not but the "official" solution to today's challenge appears to have a bug.

It will return true even when the tree is not a valid BST. Consider the case where a leaf in the left subtree contains a value higher than the root of the tree.

@doesnotexist great point. With that said, that is not the official solution. There is no official solution. This is a community driven repo. Anyone can contribute.
