Wow! A simulation is enough to solve the problem! But can the LLM solve it?

Day 12 was very challenging until I suddenly remembered a fact from high school: 'The number of sides of a polygon is equal to the number of its vertices'.

Aaaaaaah!

The hardest part has been the counting of the sides

On the eleventh day, simple brute force is finally no longer a good solution! Long live dfs + memory!

The transition from part 1 to part 2 was instant because I had recorded all the possible paths

Joshua Bloch tweeted: "Does anyone actually use LinkedList? I wrote it, and I never use it".

I don't use LinkedList at work, but it came in handy for this particular task - inserting blocks in the middle of a list.

I just completed "Resonant Collinearity" - Day 8 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode https://adventofcode.com/2024/day/8

The key is to overload the ‘multiply by number’, ‘plus’ and ‘minus’ operators for the Point class

Again, just brute force through all possible variants. Not even the Kotlin coroutines were needed!

Once again, a simulation of walking through a maze, successfully brutforced
