I second all this

The fact that ppl consider this solution as smth that makes life hard is sad indeed

Ppl prefer not to make life harder if it's unnecessary. Nothing sad here (:

I wonder why people consider this solution as something creative, that you do not want into production (definition of "Clever"). This approach uses 8th grade math, and it should be obvious for everyone, but no, the majority prefers to use while. Sad

I really like your solution
