:Nigel, it's a great analysis, but technically adding an answer based on this is excluded from the task as I did not want people to just copy an analytical solution from somewhere (OEIS has one) and use that. What to do? Right now I've added a note to your example on the page to discourage others from going down the same route but left it in place. A workable compromise? --Paddy3118 (talk) 06:19, 12 May 2015 (UTC)
::Well Paddy3118 you certainly seem to like these silly notes, certainly you are not a mathematician or a lawyer, so this should be interesting. According to the task description I should calculate the starting value. By what stretch of the English language do any of the solutions calculate the starting value?
::Let us compare my solution with the Python solution. On numerous combinatronics problems I have stressed the importance of separating the verification of candidates from the selection of candidates. In spite of this and whatever the drivel "Parameterised the number of sailors using an inner loop including the last mornings case" means the Python solution does not do this, and for that alone is worth no more than 0 out of 100.
