# --description--

We can easily verify that none of the entries in the first seven rows of Pascal's triangle are divisible by 7:

```
            1
          1   1
        1   2   1
      1   3   3   1
    1   4   6   4   1
  1   5   10  10  5   1
1   6   15  20  15  6   1
```

However, if we check the first one hundred rows, we will find that only 2361 of the 5050 entries are not divisible by 7.

# --instructions--

Find the number of entries which are not divisible by 7 in the first one billion (${10}^9$) rows of Pascal's triangle.

# --hints--

`entriesOfPascalsTriangle()` should return `2129970655314432`.

```js
assert.strictEqual(entriesOfPascalsTriangle(), 2129970655314432);
```

# --seed--

## --seed-contents--

```js
function entriesOfPascalsTriangle() {

  return true;
}

entriesOfPascalsTriangle();
```

# --solutions--

```js
// solution required
```
