project euler problem 392

Enmeshed unit circle

This problem is very straight forward. I will not say it is simple, but if you know how to solve it, it is not difficult at all. It is just a small optimization problem since N is only 400. I solved it in an iterative way.

I spent half an hour or so to formulate the problem. Then take an hour coding while watching TV. Then I found a small bug in my code during initialization. Then it is solved. It only takes 50 ms to get the answer while some optimization is still possible since I did not consider too much about symmetry.
