Bonus solution in Go (golang) because I was confused about why my Elixir solution didn't work and decided to implement from scratch in case I'd done something dumb. The Go one also got the wrong answer, but took less than 100ms instead of a minute, so I could try out lots of tweaks that didn't change the answer.
