> The summary description still matches the old incorrect code
The summary description matches the current correct code. So it could not possibly match any incorrect code (if it really existed).

Incorrect. Here's the summary reproduced (in case susam edits again):
>>> There are 500 doors numbered 1, 2, ..., 500. All doors are closed initially. In iteration k, we toggle the states of doors k, 2k, ..., floor(500/k) * k where k runs from 1 to 500
Note the "floor(500/k)" statement. That matched the original code fragment (and what is still sitting in a terminal on my laptop):
>>> [k**2 for k in range(1, int(500**0.5))]
> (if it really existed).
Let me make sure I understand what you mean here: You actually think it more likely that my two implementations, written in a comment [1] with a lower timestamp than [2], and the perl6 implementation on the linked article all include 484 as part of the valid result, and yet my comment [2] that calls on this value specifically, was somehow meant to indicate that 484 is not part of the valid result?
Ha.
[k**2 for k in range(1, ceil(484**0.5))]
I can't amend my comment to that point, but the original comment didn't have +1 in there anyway.
