# --description--
NOTE: This is a more difficult version of Problem 114.
A row measuring n units in length has red blocks with a minimum length of m units placed on it, such that any two red blocks (which are allowed to be different lengths) are separated by at least one black square.
Let the fill-count function, F(m, n), represent the number of ways that a row can be filled.
For example, F(3, 29) = 673135 and F(3, 30) = 1089155.
That is, for m = 3, it can be seen that n = 30 is the smallest value for which the fill-count function first exceeds one million.
In the same way, for m = 10, it can be verified that F(10, 56) = 880711 and F(10, 57) = 1148904, so n = 57 is the least value for which the fill-count function first exceeds one million.
For m = 50, find the least value of n for which the fill-count function first exceeds one million.
# --hints--
`euler115()` should return 168.
```js
assert.strictEqual(euler115(), 168);
```
# --seed--
## --seed-contents--
```js
function euler115() {
return true;
}
euler115();
```
# --solutions--
```js
// solution required
```
