I think there is an error with the r = 7.5 test case. By the definition of the problem, it should be 177, not 172. The working solutions use a mesh that is not on integer grid points.

James on 23 Apr 2013

I also got 177 for r=7.5 as well using (the cody unfriendly) two for loops.

Yaroslav on 23 Apr 2013

@Michael_C. and @James, Thank you! I have indeed overlooked that edge case. The problem is now fixed. (The "for" loops are unnecessary).

James on 23 Apr 2013

Yaroslav, you are certainly correct that for loops are not needed. I just used them to confirm that my answer using the "no-for-loop-required algorithm" was correct before commenting on the problem. My similar problem (Cody problem 1387) only used integer radii.

Thanks for the correction!
