#Plant

Scientist have discovered a new plant. The fruit of the plant can feed 1 person for a whole week and best of all, the plant never dies. Fruits needs 1 week to grow, so each weak you can harvest it fruits. Also the plant gives 1 fruit more than the week before and to get more plants you need to plant a fruit. Now you need to calculate after how many weeks, you can support a group of x people, given y fruits to start with. Input 15 1 Output 5 Input description The input gives you 2 positive integers x and y, being x the number of people needed to be fed and y the number of fruits you start with. Output description The number of weeks before you can feed the entire group of people. // Explanation Here you have a table that shows the growth when starting with 1 fruit. It shows when the plant came into existence (is planted) and how may fruit it bears each week Plant 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 Total # of fruits in a harvest Week 1 0 - - - - - - - - - - - - 0 2 1 0 - - - - - - - - - - - 1 3 2 1 0 0 0 - - - - - - - - 3 4 3 2 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 8 5 4 3 2 2 2 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 21
At week 1 we have 1 plant giving 0 fruits, because it has just been planted. When week 2 comes along we have 1 plant that gives off a fruit and then we use that fruit to plant plant 2. Then in week 3 we have 2 fruits from plant 1, 1 from plant 2, so we can plant 3 new plants. Challenge Input 200 15 50000 1 150000 250 Challenge Output 5 14 9
