# --description--
|
||
|
||
Looking at the table below, it is easy to verify that the maximum possible sum of adjacent numbers in any direction (horizontal, vertical, diagonal or anti-diagonal) is 16 (= 8 + 7 + 1).
|
||
|
||
−25329−6513273−18−4 8
|
||
|
||
Now, let us repeat the search, but on a much larger scale:
|
||
|
||
First, generate four million pseudo-random numbers using a specific form of what is known as a "Lagged Fibonacci Generator":
|
||
|
||
For 1 ≤ k ≤ 55, sk = \[100003 − 200003k + 300007k3] (modulo 1000000) − 500000. For 56 ≤ k ≤ 4000000, sk = \[sk−24 + sk−55 + 1000000] (modulo 1000000) − 500000.
|
||
|
||
Thus, s10 = −393027 and s100 = 86613.
|
||
|
||
The terms of s are then arranged in a 2000×2000 table, using the first 2000 numbers to fill the first row (sequentially), the next 2000 numbers to fill the second row, and so on.
|
||
|
||
Finally, find the greatest sum of (any number of) adjacent entries in any direction (horizontal, vertical, diagonal or anti-diagonal).

`euler149()` should return 52852124.
|
||
|
||
```js
|
||
assert.strictEqual(euler149(), 52852124);
|
||
```
