i feel weird being this high on the cgcc leaderboard
01:46
wait he's #3 global and literally skipped a day?
xd
02:04
Also who's "Ben" and where did they come from?
(#2 on cgcc leaderboard)
...good question

trolled P1 so hard
got two WAs
39/15, could've been worse
it took me this long to stop overthinking it and now i still fail the real input lmao
272/130
once i got it working on the test cases the thing that murdered me was forgetting one of the spurious fixes i'd tried to make to get it to work on the test cases :P
note to self to use asserts more often
surprised i went up that much on part 2 because it felt like a pretty trivial modification
the thing i fucked up was spoiler
05:52
stuck on p1, my code works on the test cases but not on the real input :/
06:13
:(
think about (possibly literal) edge cases
06:42
4810/4547, had to go shopping during the launch, then had a bug in my p2 code
Was a nice breath of fresh air compared to d12
yeah today's problem was quite nice
pretty interesting, and not really difficult or annoying but still a healthy amount of challenge
I suspect the video for this one'll be pretty short
about 9.5 minutes lol

got home, did p1 right first try ಠ_ಠ
imo eric should've included a few more test cases

i'd have vtc'd this as lowkey unclear/needing clarity by now

have these guys never heard of the sandbox?
@Eric please consider posting your challenges in the sandbox.
it'd be funny if Eric had a SE chat account
because then I could actually superping him
and tell him to sandbox his challenges
alas, I can't find any
hey p2 was too easy tbh

exactly
just ~20 chars more
but /srs I've loved AOC so far and I'm starting to regret not doing it last year
11:55
bruh my p2 code is passing the test case but not the actual input :\
and idek whats causing it
ayyyy ok i got it
that was nice problem
now i have to ponder on day 12 p2
still really havent thought of a concrete plan to approach this problem yet
12:30
every day I'm like: okay tomorrow I can get top 100, just need to finish under 9 minutes
3 messages moved from Vyxal
top 100 fr tomorrow
no cap
12:49
fr fr?
13:01
fr fr
yeah but the approach is one half, the other half is not writing bugs and actually getting the code to work
like, I implemented p1 today in under 5 mins, but debugging my code and thinking about edge cases took more than an hour
