Hi, I've completed the Brain Fibo in 31 symbols, which is the maximum of what anyone here has been able to achieve. Yet the grader calculates the score from 25 symbols. Is it really possible to solve the task in 31- symbols? Or is it just a bait? :)

Hi Friend!

Grader calculates score not "from 25 symbols" down, you see, but rather "from 45 symbols" up, as stated!

You can make simple logic conclusion, by the way: author of these problems is not the smartest person around :) and when he created this task and found some solution, he couldn't be sure it is optimal - and thus he definitely had no idea what "possible best" is. So he (I) simply set some scoring based on some heuristic (I don't remember exactly) which seemed "unreachable" in any case :)

So I believe 31 is the shortest, though definitely I can't prove it!
