You should not need to create any additional code cells for your final solution. However, you may want to use temporary code cells to try out some ideas."

"That `memo` dictionary could be \"manipulated.\" More often than not, such things happen by accident: Imagine we wrote two independent recursive functions that both rely on memoization to solve different problems, and, unintentionally, we made both work with the *same* global `memo`. As a result, we would observe \"random\" bugs depending on the order in which we executed these functions. Such bugs are hard to track down in practice.\n",
