The solution for part 2 was also found by the program. My motivation to find the smart way is now around zero.

The solution for part 1 was already found. Since part 2 can only take about 10 times as long, I guess the program will win.

Excluding those that clearly don't have a fit, because the total number of #s from all presents would exceed the region. All the others are valid without even looking.

@ret I used Rust last year just to learn it, but the whole borrowing system very often got in the way. I got better after about 25 days, yet I never felt like I really mastered it.

@teotwaki Yep, I also had to rework my part 1 code a couple of times and ended up with part 1 already almost solving part 2.

@teotwaki Nope. Maybe tomorrow?
