:::: Current title will do fine; we don't want extra capital letters in it if they're not proper names. –[[User:Dkf|Donal Fellows]] ([[User talk:Dkf|talk]]) 22:08, 15 May 2013 (UTC)
 
::I didn't really care for the Perl6 solution; it misses the fact that you're just talking triangular numbers with a little wrapping. Making that explicit (which I did in the Tcl solution) gives a really neat piece of code (one general mathematical definition, and a very simple pattern of application to the problem). –[[User:Dkf|Donal Fellows]] ([[User talk:Dkf|talk]]) 22:08, 15 May 2013 (UTC)
 
I've brought this out of of draft, since the the task seems reasonable by consensus, and the
original author can always pose a different draft instead if that was the intent. Also, I've taken the liberty of adding an extra credit for the analytical solutions that scale better than direct summation. --[[User:TimToady|TimToady]] ([[User talk:TimToady|talk]]) 00:28, 15 May 2013 (UTC)
