Verified against all 15 unique assertions in test.py — all pass.\n\nWARNING: test.py has a bug — the identical call candidate(458753, 591009) is asserted twice with two different expected values (== 0 on line 12 and == 1603161 on line 20). The correct value is 0 (matches the cycle formula and the first assertion). No deterministic function can satisfy both, so `python test.py` inevitably fails at line 20.
