Did you read the article? It is puzzle. Puzzles are for fun, article
is spoilers by Daveed.

If even spoilers are complex then do not jump into end and take
pseudocode of final solution. That way you will remain dumb even with
all spoilers in your hands. Take it step-by-step from start and if
needed implement all the algorithms from listings 1 to 4. When you
have some difficulty with C++ code of yours then you come ask here.
