how would you even verify proper generation ... this entire concept is beyond kyu 1

See this one: Check and Mate?

Can anyone recommend resources to understand how the Dirichlet principle would help solve problems like this? I read about it and watched a few videos and can't see how this principle would apply here. I see patterns when i return an array of the individual integers of the sums but can't figure out how to use what I know to make an equation to reliably solve every test case.

It should be, but people still did it ( and still try to do it :/ ).

Yes

so 6 kyu seems ok to you?

"consecutive subsets" is not very clear.

Sorry dear, I thought it was voluntary .

Fixed.

This was not done to hurt you, @achambily, it was just an honest oversight. It actually happened before, according to the oldest comment below. Calling "unfair!" won't help anybody in any way.

But you do realize that answering this question in the discourse is not going to help people who'd attempt the kata in the future, right? :)

It would be good to hve this specified in the description.

It's 1024.

So, is it 1000 or 1024 in the kata?

Woah, I never knew you can see the test cases in the solution page. I usually just went straight to the kata editor to see them. Thanks @Johan

So we have to modify the formula that you gave to solve the kata ?! Not very fair...
For everybody : you must remove the first square root...
