Problem 1732. GJam: 2013 Rd1a Bullseye Painting - Large Numbers

Google Code Jam 2013 Round 1a Bullseye challenge is to determine how many full rings can be painted given an initial radius and an amount of paint.

Given a radius r, central white zone, create black rings of width 1 cm separated by 1 cm given P ml of paint that covers pi sq-cm per ml of paint provided.

The test cases are a few from the 6000 in the Large number set. In contest mode the player has 8 minutes to submit a response after downloading the data set.

Input: [r, p] uint64, 1<=r<=1E18, 1<=P<=2E18. Always enough P for one ring

Output: Rings

Examples:

[1 9] 1; % Normal number examples to understand concept
