I assumed you'd immediately disqualify it!

I have several, but like 122545 mainly empirical results. Without the
program that blatted that number out, (or including all that code in
my submission), there's no simple calc'n for it.  Hence, If my program
doesn't work because that number is wrong, don't change it, just
disqualify my entry.

A couple of extra test cases too, I see, thanks also.

UGH. I was sneakily hoping to put a few competitors back a step or two
