Okay, I realize that it doesn't mean anything, but I've been working on trying to solve this freaking Codility challenge for like a week and while I had a solution that would give me a silver award (the tests that weren't performance-based had me getting the right results, I just timed-out for performance tests), I really wanted to get a gold one. And I FINALLY DID.

Just in time for having to do a technical phone screen for a company. Maybe I'll go into it feeling like a competent programmer.

    @irene Where it gets you is that the number of values in the arrays can be from 0 to 200,000, F can be from 0 to N, and the value of those array items can be from 0 to 1,000. So finding an efficient way to store partial solutions in a way that was easy to access and update was the real bottleneck.

    @SoulSkrix Thanks! They actually ended up forgetting they'd scheduled me, so I'm actually having it Thursday. But I have a technical interview tomorrow with AWS, so that's terrifying.

    Also, damn it! I wonder what it is *this* time. I swear PDFs are like the bane of my existence.

    @SoulSkrix When you get the chance, can you check to see if it loads now?

    @SoulSkrix I actually have it set up to either download or offer a download if iframes aren’t supported, I think. Tried covering my bases. XD

    @SoulSkrix Hilariously, I think that was the original behavior. Thanks, friend. :)
