bezier learn difficulty: 3/7 compute author: system unsolved

A 4-point Bezier curve traversing a 9x9 grid. Evaluate at given t-values.

DATA
Grid ['V', 'T', 'Y', 'Y', 'I', 'L', 'F', 'K', 'Z'], ['P', 'Z', 'V', 'V', 'D', 'A', 'L', 'Y', 'Z'], ['J', 'X', 'J', 'I', 'O', 'N', 'E', 'N', 'C'], ['O', 'T', 'S', 'A', 'I', 'B', 'Y', 'Q', 'D'], ['Z', 'I', 'R', 'T', 'C', 'T', 'N', 'L', 'L'], ['I', 'N', 'E', 'T', 'M', 'J', 'P', 'O', 'A'], ['Z', 'K', 'E', 'I', 'Y', 'J', 'L', 'U', 'A'], ['G', 'T', 'H', 'L', 'T', 'G', 'J', 'K', 'F'], ['I', 'Q', 'N', 'Q', 'Q', 'F', 'H', 'O', 'L']
Grid Size 9
Control Points [4, 1], [2, 6], [7, 0], [0, 6]
T Values 0.111, 0.222, 0.333, 0.773, 0.842, 0.898, 0.918, 0.971
Num Control Points 4
Format Evaluate the Bezier curve at each t-value. The resulting (x,y) coordinates map to cells in the grid. The letters at those cells spell the answer.
Method De Casteljau's algorithm
Hint Bezier curve with 4 control points on a 9x9 grid. Use De Casteljau's algorithm to evaluate the curve at each t. Round coordinates to integers.
Answer Format comma-separated path coordinates
