- Task
Find and show on this page the least positive integer number n, where difference of n*n and (n-1)*(n-1) greater than 1000.
The result is 501 because 501*501 - 500*500 = 251001 - 250000 = 1001 > 1000.

Works with gojq, the Go implementation of jq
So this question is essentially asking to solve `2n - 1 > 1000`. Wow.
At the risk of hastening RC's demise, one could offer a jq solution like so:
first( range(1; infinite) | select( 2 * . - 1 > 1000 ) )
Or, for anyone envious of Bitcoin's contribution to global warming:
