    return candles.GroupBy(it => it).OrderBy(it => it.Key).Last().Count();

    This was my solution (python3)

    def birthdayCakeCandles(candles): # Write your code here return candles.count(max(candles))

    lol, gotta lovel linq:

    public static int birthdayCakeCandles(List<int> candles)
{
    var max = candles.Max();
    var tallCandleCount = candles.Where(x => x == max).Count();

    return tallCandleCount;
}
