This isn’t really a one-liner “programming” solution. The author solved it by hand and then made the computer write out the solution.

You wouldn't want a brute force solution to a problem that could be solved by hand. It's really the fault of the problem that no programming was needed to solve it.

The blog post is not about code. It’s about solving a puzzle, which they do!
