That's still impressive! It took you two seconds while it took us 3 code iterations to get it right. It seems so obvious in retrospect but in the moment it can be hard to use the full range of your intuition about math. That knowledge could probably have saved us a day or two of coding.

OTOH it's extra difficult because when we did a first implementation we didn't we didn't have a full understanding of the shape of the problem.
