# --description--

Here are the records from a busy telephone system with one million users:
|
|
|
|
RecNrCallerCalled120000710005326001835004393600863701497......... The telephone number of the caller and the called number in record n are Caller(n) = S2n-1 and Called(n) = S2n where S1,2,3,... come from the "Lagged Fibonacci Generator":
|
|
|
|
For 1 ≤ k ≤ 55, Sk = \[100003 - 200003k + 300007k3] (modulo 1000000) For 56 ≤ k, Sk = \[Sk-24 + Sk-55] (modulo 1000000)
|
|
|
|
If Caller(n) = Called(n) then the user is assumed to have misdialled and the call fails; otherwise the call is successful.
|
|
|
|
From the start of the records, we say that any pair of users X and Y are friends if X calls Y or vice-versa. Similarly, X is a friend of a friend of Z if X is a friend of Y and Y is a friend of Z; and so on for longer chains.
|
|
|
|
The Prime Minister's phone number is 524287. After how many successful calls, not counting misdials, will 99% of the users (including the PM) be a friend, or a friend of a friend etc., of the Prime Minister?

`euler186()` should return 2325629.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
assert.strictEqual(euler186(), 2325629);
|
|
```
