My code is returning 10, which ... seems to be correct by my count ... fed birds would be represented by the helpings [spoiler]6+5+5+4+4+4+3+3+3+3 = 40 portions. Am I misunderstanding something in the requirements?
t | birds | max_portions | max_helpings | max_per_flock
---|-------|--------------|--------------------------------------------|-----------------------
5 | 15 | 35 | 5,4,4,3,3,3,2,2,2,2,1,1,1,1,1 | 5[8][9][8][5]
6 | 21 | 56 | 6,5,5,4,4,4,3,3,3,3,2,2,2,2,2,1,1,1,1,1,1 | 6[10][12][12][10][6]
