Chess adult improver. Everywhere is up from here. #chesspunks fan. 950+ USCF, 1300+ Lichess Classical.
One of the splitters does not encounter a beam, in the example. So 21 is the correct answer.

Yes, I've seen that some folks are using JavaScript.

Inspiring. If I actually finish AoC 2025, then I may follow your lead and start back at the beginning (2015), but favor quality over speed.

Nice! I didn’t know about Grid2D, so my solution using nested BTreeMap collections was much slower than yours. I knew it was inefficient but not how badly inefficient until I read your post. Thanks for sharing!

That's pretty amazing. I'm doing something similar except I needed more of the Rust book ... like up through chapter 6, plus 8 (collections) and 11 (automated test). That, and StackOverflow of course.

I’m using rust as well, but just learning it so not sharing until I get proficient.

Same for me, but I’m doing it in Rust … with which I hope to quickly get reasonably proficient. I’ll probably share at some later date.

I couldn't get this one. Will have to figure out why, but later. Now I need some sleep.
