Helvetica for business press releases, Times Roman for local news, and Comic Sans for the obituaries.
Nothing screams of morbidness and death more than Comic Sans can.

Well that's just rude. I know I could always just use a fake date but still... It's the principle!

It's probably the math. There's got to be an edge case where it no longer works and the input is meticulous enough to put that to the test. It already tells how many times a single rotation passes zero.
local pointing = 50 local zeroes = {0, 0} for line in io.lines() do local rotation = readrotation(line) local destination = (pointing + rotation) % 100 local passes = math.abs((pointing + rotation) // 100) -- Part 1 only checks when the dial _stops_ at 0. if destination == 0 then zeroes[1] = zeroes[1] + 1 elseif pointing ~=0 then zeroes[2] = zeroes[2] + passes end

You'd never think iterating, looping, and table.insert in #Lua would be twice as fast as simple math and yet here we are.
-- Returns a table, least-significant digit first, -- of all the digits in a table. -- Somehow twice as fast as D.digitlen (~0.000020 sec.). function D.digits(num, base) local digits = {} local base = base or 10 while num > 0 do local digit, rem = (num % base), (num // base) num = rem table.insert(digits, digit) end return digits end -- In theory, less complex than looping just use #D.digits(num, base). -- In practice, this runs half the speed of #D.digits (~0.000040 sec.). -- AND returns NaN if `num` equals math.maxinteger. function D.digitlen(num, base) return math.ceil(math.log(num + 1, base or 10)) end

And that's a wrap for part 1 of this year's #NaNoWriMo prep: the setting. Onto figuring out the plot!

The greatest pastime of Spira, now available at your local Walmart!
Blitzball. Just a polygonal ball you hit with a bat. Nothing like the ones (or the sport) from Final Fantasy X.

Holy crap, people. Can we get through back-to-school season and Halloween before you drag out the Thanksgiving decorations?
A pilgrim nutcracker with a roast bird is the perfect accessory to go with your Thanksgiving Tree for the Turkey to leave food under before scurrying back up the chimney.

Blueprint parameterization in Factorio is saving my hide once again. Just cranked out a 6:3 sorter for ores because they're all generated on top of each other. Congratulations, me! Now don't do it again.
