Case contract

enrol [student, exam] rows (may repeat) and exam periods. For each student, each pair of distinct exams d = 1..5 periods apart costs 2^(5-d). Return [total, number of students, total/students as a reduced fraction string].

Why this case matters

The Carter proximity cost is the standard exam-timetabling quality measure; each piece has a known implementation pitfall.

One recorded failure

Sample boundary fixture

This sample comes from the broken implementation of a controlled reproducer.

Boundary fixture	Actual	Expected	Outcome
regression: proximity window 1	`[116, 4, "29"]`	`[20, 4, "5"]`	Failed
