# --description--
|
|
|
|
Consider a honey bee's honeycomb where each cell is a perfect regular hexagon with side length 1.
|

|
|
One particular cell is occupied by the queen bee. For a positive real number $L$, let $B(L)$ count the cells with distance $L$ from the queen bee cell (all distances are measured from centre to centre); you may assume that the honeycomb is large enough to accommodate for any distance we wish to consider.
|
|
|
|
For example, $B(\sqrt{3}) = 6$, $B(\sqrt{21}) = 12$ and $B(111\\,111\\,111) = 54$.
|
|
|
|
Find the number of $L ≤ 5 \times {10}^{11}$ such that $B(L) = 450$.

# --hints--
|
|
|
|
`distancesInHoneycomb()` should return `58065134`.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
assert.strictEqual(distancesInHoneycomb(), 58065134);
|
|
```
