# Basic drill L133 topic-13 micro-2 pattern-12
LESSON_UID = "basic-133"
spin_a, spin_b, spin_c = 895, 260, 736

from io import StringIO

buf = StringIO()
rounds = 3 + 2 % 5
for idx in range(rounds):
    buf.write(f"seg-{idx}-{(idx * 133 + spin_b) % 997}\n")
buf.seek(0)
dump = buf.read()
print("lines", dump.count("\n"))
print("peek", dump.splitlines()[0] if dump else "<empty>")
