it was pretty good. made me question the nature of reality in a way that will probably prevent me from ever sleeping soundly again. 10/10 would recommend

Hang in there! Don't overthink it ;)

My logic counts the paths for part 2. The only problem is it's going to take more CPU cycles than I have left in my lifetime to finish counting them 😅

lol, i'm on my way to it

classic. is that server not over crowded?? I'm on Shiva... I think... it's been a few years. is Shiva still around?

nice!! I should try mine too. what server are you on?

Hopefully after a day of solving something else we can tackle it with fresh eyes

nice! i'm gonna have to scope that out later to see what you did there

pretty cool to see it all graphed out like that!

haven't seen it yet but it's on my list! hoping to get around to it soon

good luck!

heck yeah! welcome back!

that one was a bit of a parsing nightmare 🐙

lol will do!

so, it seems to me that when you check if the next range's min is less than the current range's max, you don't check if the next max is actually greater than the current max, meaning you could end up shrinking the range instead of growing it. if a range is wholly inside another one...

I applaud your chilling 👏👏

I haven't tried running your code myself yet, but I do see a potential issue in the consolidate ranges function if your open to suggestions later. just lmk, but no rush #chill

😉

I used to feel that way as well. But I think after enough fiddling they become second nature. I almost even felt "comfortable" with is this year!

Maybe next year you can at least get to a "don't hate" feeling with them 😅

"I've got a bad feeling about this"

That was some kind of string parsing that had to happen to get to the answer. Whew...
