test cases 5 and 7 seem to not be Narcissistic (https://oeis.org/A005188), but they are still marked as true.

I thought from the title you were to determine if a number was both Munchhausen and Narcissistic. After wrestling a bit, I realized the test cases were based on being Munchhausen alone. Hopefully this comment saves someone else some time. As far as I can determine, the title is incorrect, and should be "Is this number Munchhausen?"

The problem is just requesting for Munchhausen numbers. The title is misleading.

I agree with the comments of Rafael S.T. Vieira and Dennis Gimlin about the title

The title has been corrected.

The current title looks good

It is better to write Münchhausen or ü -> "ue", since a simple "u" gives a totally diff word in German.
