For any set A of numbers, let sum(A) be the sum of the elements of A.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Consider the set B = {1,3,6,8,10,11}. There are 20 subsets of B containing three elements, and their sums are:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
sum({1,3,6}) = 10, sum({1,3,8}) = 12, sum({1,3,10}) = 14, sum({1,3,11}) = 15, sum({1,6,8}) = 15, sum({1,6,10}) = 17, sum({1,6,11}) = 18, sum({1,8,10}) = 19, sum({1,8,11}) = 20, sum({1,10,11}) = 22, sum({3,6,8}) = 17, sum({3,6,10}) = 19, sum({3,6,11}) = 20, sum({3,8,10}) = 21, sum({3,8,11}) = 22, sum({3,10,11}) = 24, sum({6,8,10}) = 24, sum({6,8,11}) = 25, sum({6,10,11}) = 27, sum({8,10,11}) = 29.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Some of these sums occur more than once, others are unique. For a set A, let U(A,k) be the set of unique sums of k-element subsets of A, in our example we find U(B,3) = {10,12,14,18,21,25,27,29} and sum(U(B,3)) = 156.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Now consider the 100-element set S = {12, 22, ... , 1002}. S has 100891344545564193334812497256 50-element subsets.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Determine the sum of all integers which are the sum of exactly one of the 50-element subsets of S, i.e. find sum(U(S,50)).

`euler201()` should return 115039000.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```js
|
||
|
|
assert.strictEqual(euler201(), 115039000);
|
||
|
|
```
