This does help. And it looks like you are counting the number of distinct numbers as opposed to how many times a number occurs.
That said, there's something very quirky about "for a delimited set of ancestors (from 5 to 99)" - you are clearly considering ancestors smaller than 5. All of your examples include such ancestors. By reading your code, I can see what you are doing - but that doesn't make for a good task description (and leads to all sorts of unreasonable hypothesis about what you might be doing, such as those I was considering when I asked my initial set of questions).
I would highly recommend that you drop the lower limit on ancestors to 2 (because 2 is a relevant ancestor, given the results you are getting) and fix your code so it doesn't crash when you do that. --[[User:Rdm|Rdm]] ([[User talk:Rdm|talk]]) 14:38, 26 February 2015 (UTC)
