A person on discord told me not to do that again and to create a fork. For that reason Imma revert the changes

C sample test has hidden code assert_triangulate to excite code under test using 4 points, not 3 points and 3 distances. Please do not hide this test code and show how the user function is called.

Haskell translation

Approved.

likely to use a machine instruction underneath; prefer this over the current top solution

Can you stop the rounding in any way?

python new test framework is required. updated in this fork

done!

Python:

• import of math.dist should be removed from sample tests.
• please add pass to initial code so it doesn't crash.

There seems to be some issues regarding the expected values of the tests.

It isn't possible for x=6 and y=18, as a and b would be complex

Actually, the solution for the equation is $a=b=3$, so there is a real solution for $a^7+b^7$

For x=5 and y=35, correct answer is 1576.6106018024825 with maximum deviation of 1e-06

The solution for these equations are $a=\frac {5 + 3 \sqrt 5} {2}$ and $b=\frac {5 - 3 \sqrt 5} {2}$, or vice versa, and $a^7+b^7=235625$, not $1576.6..$

Think of how would you solve on paper, and addapt to code. I agree that doesn't require much programming, it's just math

how do you solve the 3 equations? what method?

I disagree, mathematics is not very difficult, the level of high school is approximately, quite pulling on 6 kyu. But the kata itself is boring - just a mathematical problem from some school test, where 8 kyu programming plays only the role of a calculator.
