* 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--
We shall define a square lamina to be a square outline with a square "hole" so that the shape possesses vertical and horizontal symmetry.
Given eight tiles it is possible to form a lamina in only one way: 3x3 square with a 1x1 hole in the middle. However, using thirty-two tiles it is possible to form two distinct laminae.
If t represents the number of tiles used, we shall say that t = 8 is type L(1) and t = 32 is type L(2). Let N(n) be the number of t ≤ 1000000 such that t is type L(n); for example, N(15) = 832. What is ∑ N(n) for 1 ≤ n ≤ 10?
# --hints--
`euler174()` should return 209566.
```js
assert.strictEqual(euler174(), 209566);
```
# --seed--
## --seed-contents--
```js
function euler174() {
return true;
}
euler174();
```
# --solutions--
```js
// solution required
```
