--description--
Consider a honey bee's honeycomb where each cell is a perfect regular hexagon with side length 1.
One particular cell is occupied by the queen bee. For a positive real number L
, let B(L)
count the cells with distance L
from the queen bee cell (all distances are measured from centre to centre); you may assume that the honeycomb is large enough to accommodate for any distance we wish to consider.
For example, B(\sqrt{3}) = 6
, B(\sqrt{21}) = 12
and B(111\\,111\\,111) = 54
.
Find the number of L ≤ 5 \times {10}^{11}
such that B(L) = 450
.
--hints--
distancesInHoneycomb()
should return 58065134
.
assert.strictEqual(distancesInHoneycomb(), 58065134);
