I ❤️ how it starts with easy-but-somehow-tricky problem

[ephemient]

I don't like "the best solution is brute force" generally, but "brute force works to provide a reference value to compare against while debugging a better solution" is appreciated 🙂

[Jakub Gwóźdź]

never use brute force if you can do algebraic solution 🙂

[phldavies]

... which is unlikely at 5am for me, so brute force it is!

I think you can start with the fastest solution to reach starts and then - optimize your solution is more elegant way.

[Jakub Gwóźdź]

That's probably personal preference.
I need to have fun from it, so usually I cannot properly focus on part 2 until I refactor the hell out of part 1 solution first 🙂

25 days become 12 days but the fun still goes from 1 to 25.
I wonder if day 12 will be 3-parts
