+Project Euler Problem 115: https://projecteuler.net/problem=115
+
+NOTE: This is a more difficult version of Problem 114
+(https://projecteuler.net/problem=114).
+
+A row measuring n units in length has red blocks
+with a minimum length of m units placed on it, such that any two red blocks
+(which are allowed to be different lengths) are separated by at least one black square.
+
+Let the fill-count function, F(m, n),
+represent the number of ways that a row can be filled.
+
+For example, F(3, 29) = 673135 and F(3, 30) = 1089155.
+
+That is, for m = 3, it can be seen that n = 30 is the smallest value
+for which the fill-count function first exceeds one million.
+
+In the same way, for m = 10, it can be verified that
+F(10, 56) = 880711 and F(10, 57) = 1148904, so n = 57 is the least value
+for which the fill-count function first exceeds one million.
+
+For m = 50, find the least value of n
+for which the fill-count function first exceeds one million.
