@Zandifer Your code gives the number of dots in one (last) iteration. Need to find the number of dots in the whole pentagram (in N iterations).

I decided to complete this challenge using ALL languages supported in SoloLearn. The code was simplified and so only works with possitive integer inputs (1, 2, 3, ...). As far as I understood, PHP in SoloLearn doesn't support I/O, so I omitted it. Original (works with many input types): https://code.sololearn.com/WP6w8F6pV277/?ref=app Simplified and unified (works with positive integer inputs only): https://code.sololearn.com/cCaNP4VrOlJx/?ref=app https://code.sololearn.com/cPvVSSSUZP0s/?ref=app https://code.sololearn.com/cl57a9pm62r5/?ref=app https://code.sololearn.com/cnEERHz4tO8h/?ref=app https://code.sololearn.com/cvmPWfwJS0ts/?ref=app https://code.sololearn.com/WcKpJ2z2HPvq/?ref=app
