MAKISE KURISUU!!
You're supposed to be a scientist 😭

Lol i had pretty much a very lame solution too

ah yes codewars teaching us math lessons yet again..

bruh

maybe i should continued the family farm.

he's just lazy to write out all the names lmao

the fugg bruuh, i spent 30 minutes to solve this kata and when i see your solution, i think i have to quit programming

Your codes are very clean

Lol! I felt the same.

Study math

I didn't want to feel cheesy by googling "pyramid of odd numbers" and being given a solution, but after one hour of struggle and coming to a different solution... This is borderline insulting.

I came up with the same solution but I genuinely tried various approaches before this. I love mathematics because there is always an alternative pattern to recognize and you can tackle problems from various angles. I think I gave this about ~2 hours before I just realized what I need to do but I actually enjoyed this.

No...way..

What do you all recommend as resources for becoming better at recognizing such patterns?

mate i was so close to this answer in my mind, after for an hour i still can't figue out how, bravo.

LoL) Math is a power :)
