Well, that was a month. Congrats everyone who has reached the end, and thanks to everyone who has contributed solutions and advice.
Sometime in January I will create a megathread for visualizations. If anyone has any other ideas, happy to hear them, otherwise, take a well earned 11 month rest until next year :D
I dont care for the global leaderboard, its mostly LLMs and competitive programmers, who are way too fast. “Competing” against everyone here is much less stressful and more enjoyable.
This was my first finish as well,last year I bailed after day 12.
