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?

That is impressive, I think it took me more than 30 seconds to get the regex I wanted to use correct, more or less the rest of the solution. This is my first time doing AoC or anything like it so I wasn’t expecting to be anywhere near the top, but the times I saw there were shocking.
There are a lot of people participating. Some of 'em are bound to be really really good, and also get lucky!
