challengeType: 28

# --description--
Given a grid containing three cell tower readings, determine the location of the phone.
- Each cell in the grid is either `0` (no tower) or a positive integer representing the number of cells to the phone, measured in a straight line: horizontal, vertical, or diagonal.
- Return the `[row, col]` of the cell that is the correct number of cells from all three towers.
- There is always exactly one solution.
# --hints--
`findSignal([[0, 0, 1], [0, 1, 0], [0, 0, 1]])` should return `[1, 2]`.
```js
assert.deepEqual(findSignal([[0, 0, 1], [0, 1, 0], [0, 0, 1]]), [1, 2]);
```
`findSignal([[0, 2, 0], [1, 0, 0], [0, 0, 1]])` should return `[2, 1]`.
```js
assert.deepEqual(findSignal([[0, 2, 0], [1, 0, 0], [0, 0, 1]]), [2, 1]);
```
`findSignal([[0, 0, 2, 0], [0, 0, 0, 0], [2, 0, 0, 0], [0, 0, 0, 1]])` should return `[2, 2]`.
```js
assert.deepEqual(findSignal([[0, 0, 2, 0], [0, 0, 0, 0], [2, 0, 0, 0], [0, 0, 0, 1]]), [2, 2]);
```
`findSignal([[0, 3, 0, 0, 0], [0, 0, 0, 0, 2], [0, 0, 0, 0, 0], [4, 0, 0, 0, 0], [0, 0, 0, 0, 0]])` should return `[3, 4]`.
```js
assert.deepEqual(findSignal([[0, 3, 0, 0, 0], [0, 0, 0, 0, 2], [0, 0, 0, 0, 0], [4, 0, 0, 0, 0], [0, 0, 0, 0, 0]]), [3, 4]);
```
`findSignal([[3, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0], [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0], [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0], [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0], [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0], [0, 2, 0, 0, 0, 2]])` should return `[3, 3]`.
```js
assert.deepEqual(findSignal([[3, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0], [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0], [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0], [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0], [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0], [0, 2, 0, 0, 0, 2]]), [3, 3]);
