PUZZLE #5244: NURMS Subdivision Cipher (diff 5)
A 5x5 control mesh of heights is subdivided using Catmull-Clark rules. The answer is encoded in the subdivided vertex heights at specific positions. Subdivide the mesh, sample the heights, and map each to a letter.

| Hint |
NURMS subdivision cipher — difficulty 5. Control mesh: 5x5. Subdivision levels: 3. Word length: 16 characters. Apply Catmull-Clark subdivision repeatedly, sample heights at given (u,v), convert each height to A-Z via int(h*26)%26.
