This is a quick Python coding puzzle or brain teaser for educational and/or entertainment purposes. The challenge is quite simple but is useful for learning or refreshing your coding skills while exercising some logical thinking.
Objective
Write a Python function that takes a list of integers as input and returns the 2 numbers that add up to the largest sum from that list. For example, given a list input: 1, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9 the function should return (8, 9) because of all the numbers, 8 + 9 = 17 is the largest sum possible from a pair of numbers in the list.
