Example (`LESSON_UID = "basic-166"`)

# Basic drill L166 topic-16 micro-5 pattern-7
LESSON_UID = "basic-166"
spin_a, spin_b, spin_c = 325, 516, 997

src = [((k + 166) * spin_a + 5) % 241 for k in range(4 + 5 % 3)]
derived = [v * v if v % 2 == 0 else v + spin_b for v in src]
print("src", src)
print("derived", derived)
print("zip_sum", sum(x + y for x, y in zip(src, derived)))
