Absolutely right, Grant! I entirely agree with you.

Right!!!

Easy when you understand it.
It took me the monthes to understand how stupid this problem is.
I wanted do this problem with brute force, by recursion, a lot of different ways, until I understood.
Any way, this problem is really stupid.))

xD

i solved it but still didn't get what the problem is
"Brainbreaking text, brainless task" - exactly

It took me 20 minutes to solve it.)) (the hardest part is to read the text and to write the code). ))

This problem doesn't help improving any algorithm but it improves your mind to translate your understanding to easy code. (I think)
