I was looking through the global leader board for day 3 today and noticed that the first 100 results are all under 90 seconds, with the top 4 being under 30 seconds. How is that possible? What are people leveraging in order to accomplish this?

    I haven’t had time for the AoC yet, but if it’s like last year, there are rate limits that would make binary search ineffective.

      Ah yeah, if you can only submit once every 30 seconds or something that would defeat the ability to binary search, at least at the speeds that people were submitting today.
