Description

By counting carefully it can be seen that a rectangular grid measuring 3 by 2 contains eighteen rectangles:

a diagram of the different rectangles found within a 3 by 2 rectangular grid

Although there exists no rectangular grid that contains exactly two million rectangles, find the area of the grid with the nearest solution.

Tests

tests:
  - text: <code>countingRectangles()</code> should return a number.

  - text: <code>countingRectangles()</code> should return 2772.
    testString: assert.strictEqual(countingRectangles(), 2772);

function countingRectangles() {
  // Good luck!
  return true;
}

countingRectangles();
