I really like this approach, but it seems equivalent. I wondered if I misunderstood the approach, so I worked it out the example problem by hand both ways, and both perform roughly the same number of "additions": 11 for the first, 14 for the second. So unless I've misunderstood something (and the example may be a bad one) this also seems brute force.
(Thanks for pointing out the error in my code, by the way. Judging by my comments, I misread the directions.)
