I copied the problem into Google and its AI Overview feature gave the correct answer. I wonder how many other Cody problems it could solve....

Thank you, Tim, for the information. Next time, I will take care of how AI responds.
However, the real pleasure lies in finding the solution on our own.

I didn't mean to imply at all that you should have checked that. It just occurred to me to give it a try, and I was somewhat surprised at the result. I thought others here might find it interesting.

Luisa, I can't speak for Tim, William, and Christian, of course, but I'm quite certain that they agree with your statement about the real pleasure in problem solving, as I do.

@Luisa @ChrisR I wholeheartedly agree. If I didn't enjoy solving these problems, I wouldn't be on Cody. So thank you very much, Luisa, for contributing this nice problem, and I hope to see more from you!
