Your solution is not valid, and neither the other two who come after you: the challenge is for May, but you posted the solution in April..

Joking apart, extremely easy, if so many answers in just few days. I sent mine too, but id didn't appear yet.

I must suck at finding potential solutions I have it just under 300000 left last time I ran the script.

I apparently solved it twice...

It reminds me of that old anecdote about a young lady marrying an old gentleman in his 90s. She thinks: "I'll have all of his money and I can have four lovers on the side". Knock on the door. The gentleman enters and proudly announces: "I came to fulfill my obligations as a husband!" and so he does. The lady is resting in her bed and keeps thinking the interrupted though: "...well, he is actually not bad at all, maybe I don't even need four lovers; two will do." Knock on the door. The gentlemen enters and proudly announces: "I came to fulfill my obligations as a husband!" ... and so it repeats a few times until she finally protests, "But Sir, you already fulfilled your obligations tonight!" The gentleman apologizes: "My memory is so bad, I always forget things" and leaves.

Ha! You should link the April solution, not the May one!
Bad of you, bad!
Especially as that mentions us...
