We went through this a while ago, I think a challenge forwarded by Mark Wieder.
The problem is that integers overflow and start giving wrong answers part way
to 100. I forget the exact place it happens.
I wrote a few that did it the hard way (character by character arithmetic) -

Yeah, it's kind of a trick question in the context of this blog. Not
that I think much of the blog post in general, but giving the writer the
benefit of the doubt, I believe the point is that if you just code
something up and don't test it fully, thinking you've come up with the
correct formulation, you've still failed.
