Example (`LESSON_UID = "basic-168"`)

# Basic drill L168 topic-16 micro-7 pattern-6
LESSON_UID = "basic-168"
spin_a, spin_b, spin_c = 228, 836, 534

start = 19 + 7 % 5
leap = 10
span = 50
bucket = []
for idx in range(start, start + span):
    bucket.append(idx * (spin_a % 37 + leap))
squares = tuple(x * x if x % 2 == (7 % 2) else -x for x in bucket[-4:])
print(bucket, squares)
