I've repcapped 4 of the 6 days this week (going by SE's definition of a week) :P

Lyxal

Hmm I'm sorry maybe I'm not good at awaking for extended times.

ChartZ Belatedly

In the past 7 days, I've gotten 1326 total rep :P

Lyxal

@ChartZBelatedly Okay Dennis no need to flex on us peasants. :p

We allow tips questions that ask how to improve specific answers (typically code-golf, but I don't see why other OWC shouldn't be allowed to do the same), so clearly not all our questions are posing challenges

Q: Traversing a binary tree to get from one number to another using only two operations

I'm doing a competitive programming problem that says that we have to get from one number, $n$, to another, $m$, in as few steps as possible, where each "step" can be 1) doubling, or 2) subtracting one.
