Day 3: Gear Ratios

Megathread guidelines

  • Keep top level comments as only solutions, if you want to say something other than a solution put it in a new post. (replies to comments can be whatever)
  • Code block support is not fully rolled out yet but likely will be in the middle of the event. Try to share solutions as both code blocks and using something such as https://topaz.github.io/paste/ or pastebin (code blocks to future proof it for when 0.19 comes out and since code blocks currently function in some apps and some instances as well if they are running a 0.19 beta)

    [Rust] Harder one today, for part 1 I ended up getting stuck for a bit since I wasnt taking numbers at the end of lines into account and in part 2 I defined my gears vector in the wrong spot and spent a bit debugging that

    Code
