Day 21: Keypad Conundrum
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)
- You can send code in code blocks by using three backticks, the code, and then three backticks or use something such as https://topaz.github.io/paste/ if you prefer sending it through a URL

I get the feeling this solution is more complicated than necessary, which means I probably haven’t understood the problem properly. Anyway, dynamic programming saves the day again!
