Hi are you accepting translations? If so I might do a Go one.

There's always one.

It's not really about finding a formula, but an algorithm to compute the value in less time. The final solution involves quite a bit of both coding and maths.

So I'm guessing this is a kata that is more about finding a formula to calculate this right? Rather than a coding kata?

Awesome kata, thanks very much. I enjoyed solving it.

Nice kata, thanks.

See above, Go tests seem to have a problem. I have tested some of them with my Python code and I get the same results as my Go code.

For instance:
Encode Key: OZzhEOAUlkOZDh Alpha: ckclVDAJzUsohOEJZQVDw Text: kZOlaAosDQbUE10FcO

My answer: EocJaDQDzVbVD10FzV Expected answer: EocJaDQDkVbVh10FsV

Haha, I just came here to say something is wrong with the Go tests.

Awesome kata, thanks.

Nice kata, I learned a bit about Python ojbects.

I, as an amateur coder, found a lot of fun playing with pentomino problems..

So I just wanted to share!!

Thanks

Really nice kata, thanks, I had fun solving it :)

It says what it is. With a link. What more do you want?

tf is this meant to be

Yes you're right. I just get this error when I print the larger int values. I guess the ints get converted to strings first, and there's a limit on string lengths.

"ValueError: Exceeds the limit (4300) for integer string conversion; use sys.set_int_max_str_digits() to increase the limit"
