I added test cases to rule out equally spaced answers.

Added random numbers to equally spaced answers. :-P

Since Solution 580724 got deleted (???), here is it again.

Jonathan on 12 Feb 2015

That's weird. I don't know why it would have disappeared.

That happens sometimes when, while rescoring, cody server returns an error.

Kudos for passing the test suite. This is interesting, because it is a different distribution than the one envisioned at test suite creation time.

Since my original one had equally spaced answers, I thought I'd just stick with that theme.
