@Ronan I haven't even done PArt 1 yet. I fell behind because of real life. I probably won't have time to catch up until the weekend.
Part 1 just looks like a bunch of shortest pathfinding algos though

@Wipqozn Yeah, it's a flood fill and count_if % 2
oh I misread it
it is more difficult than I thought, but still yeah, flood fill should do it
Altyhough actually, no, my original idea would still work. Just not as good as floodfill.
My problem was setting up the queue properly. Wasn't popping, was queuing already tracked spots, etc.
@MBraedley I guess you could say you queued yourself up for frustration!
HAHAHAHAAHAH
02:21
OK, the input is specially designed such that the starting row and column are all valid spots, and there's a few open diagonals cutting off the corners. Presumably, the values are chosen such that the Manhattan distance will put you on one of those diagonals, ideally reaching just to the edge of a repeating tile.
and it does end up on an edge

Q: What is the use for emeralds?

ScribblenauticalI recently found some emeralds while searching in a cave for some diamonds. Other than creating an emerald block, what other purposes do the emeralds serve?

^ could any mod kindly see if this question has any deleted comment that mentions Minecraft Pocket Edition?
The edit history shows no change in tags, yet multiple comments mention MCPE

@SPArcheon I see no mention of pocket edition
@Wipqozn ..and yet two comments mention it
Not sure what version MCPE is at, but in future editions they are used for villager trading, and emerald blocks are used for beacons. Other than that, not much. — Ben Sep 30, 2014 at 1:06
Just to confirm: This question is about Minecraft Pocket Edition, i.e. the mobile version. Do you know if there has been an update? i.e. does your answer now apply to the Pocket Edition? — Robotnik ♦ Mar 3, 2015 at 6:51
Wonder what happened then...

okay nevermind ,I did misread DAy 21. I misread it, then I read it, then I misread it again. Yolo swagtown as the kids say.

@Ronan OKay yes, yes it is. I had a feeling it would be some nonsense like this.
I have ideas, but saving that Part 2 for later
Part 1 of 22 doesn't seem too bad.

My initial solution for 22.1 took 48 seconds, after a refactor it takes 300ms
^ @Fredy31 suddenly trying to save some time on abyss 12 doesn't seem that bad
