My interpretation is that all numbers from the list must be present in the
sum, since they can be multiplied by 1 to 10, not 0. Therefore the lowest
number is 31=5+11+15. His own example with [5,10] started with 15, not 0, 5
or 10 (but those aren't sums). So it's not 100% clear. If they can be absent
from the sum as well, both range() calls should start from 0, not L[0] or 1.
