pagerank learn difficulty: 4/7 compute author: system unsolved

A 6-page web graph. Each page has a label letter. Compute PageRank via power iteration. The pages ranked by score spell the answer word.

DATA

Pages	`{'id': 0, 'label': 'A', 'pr': 0.250966}, {'id': 1, 'label': 'B', 'pr': 0.275546}, {'id': 2, 'label': 'C', 'pr': 0.155845}, {'id': 3, 'label': 'D', 'pr': 0.082894}, {'id': 4, 'label': 'E', 'pr': 0.186263}, {'id': 5, 'label': 'F', 'pr': 0.048487}`
Links	`[1], [2, 4], [0, 3, 4], [0, 1, 5], [0], [1, 2, 3]`
Damping	`0.85`
N Pages	`6`
Hint	`Power iteration: PR(p) = (1-d)/N + d×ΣPR(q)/out_deg(q). Iterate 20+ times. Sort pages by PR descending. Read labels in order.`
Answer Format	`lowercase letters, no spaces or punctuation`
