Oliver Eyton-Williams ee1e8abd87 feat(curriculum): restore seed + solution to Chinese (#40683)
* feat(tools): add seed/solution restore script

* chore(curriculum): remove empty sections' markers

* chore(curriculum): add seed + solution to Chinese

* chore: remove old formatter

* fix: update getChallenges

parse translated challenges separately, without reference to the source

* chore(curriculum): add dashedName to English

* chore(curriculum): add dashedName to Chinese

* refactor: remove unused challenge property 'name'

* fix: relax dashedName requirement

* fix: stray tag

Remove stray `pre` tag from challenge file.

# --description--
A definition for an ellipse is:
Given a circle c with centre M and radius r and a point G such that d(G,M)
The construction of the points of the ellipse is shown below.
Given are the points M(-2000,1500) and G(8000,1500). Given is also the circle c with centre M and radius 15000. The locus of the points that are equidistant from G and c form an ellipse e. From a point P outside e the two tangents t1 and t2 to the ellipse are drawn. Let the points where t1 and t2 touch the ellipse be R and S.
For how many lattice points P is angle RPS greater than 45 degrees?
# --hints--
`euler246()` should return 810834388.
```js
assert.strictEqual(euler246(), 810834388);
```
# --seed--
## --seed-contents--
```js
function euler246() {
return true;
}
euler246();
```
# --solutions--
```js
// solution required
```
