Case contract

solve(income, brackets): stipulated tax-table lookup. income < 0 returns 0 and incomes below 5 have zero tax. For income < 100000 the tax is the progressive tax on the midpoint of the income's band, rounded half-up to whole dollars: bands are 25 wide below 3000 ([0,25), [25,50), ...) and 50 wide from 3000 ([3000,3050), ...). Incomes of 100000 or more use the exact progressive tax rounded half-up to cents. Return integer cents.

Why this case matters

Tax computations hinge on which slice, threshold, ordering and rounding rule applies at each step; a misplaced boundary silently misstates liabilities.
