There're already lots of messages about this. You should use math, not loops.

And yet you're adding an backhanded insult to someone in pretty much an attempt to save face. If he deserves 1 dick point you deserve 100.

I know lots of newbies have ego issues, needs others to cater them and give them participation awards to feel better about themselves. But let's be honest, if you're wrong, you're wrong, and doing half-assed backhanded insults like this will only make you more unlikable ;-)

Counting them one by one is too slow. Ideally you shouldn't even need to count ;-)

You can do this in Haskell easily without a timeout, how you filter them is the critical part.

For example how would you do this in Haskell :

-generate all the numbers from 1 to 50 bazillion
-filter the numbers which are equal to 69
-return the remaining list

A lot of the final tests are more rigerous than the initial and often have performance requirements.

Same! I thought it was just me?

What of it ?!?

Add a perfomance label to the kata so users are warned about it being a requirement. Right now, puzzle is ignored it seems.
Or better yet do that and also write about it in the instructions, given it's an 8 kyu kata some people would think iterative solutions should work.

Yes, and that's not a kata issue, it's a problem with your code, use Question for cases like this one.

Fair enough, that was my mistake. But way to take the internet too seriously.. gee. +1 dick point for you.

I think you don't understand what BELOW N means...

Psst: oddCount(1).
