I wonder: If you know a lot of those tricks, it might still be helpful in real life. 🤔 (But I have no idea, really. Neither do I work as a dev, nor have I done a lot of these interview-like quizzes before … Maybe it’s just garbage that accumulates in one’s brain.)

After having done today’s quiz, I had a look at your solution – and I’m glad that there was no trick this time. :-) So I guess we all had to stare at that stuff for an hour and, in our head, try to find a way to determine the mapping.

That’s the perfect solution in my book. You have a formula to solve a problem in just a few steps? Great! Oh, you don’t? Well, then you have to do it the hard way and write some algorithmic solution. :-)
