Going to write up D16 and then try again later. I feel like I'm close, finding paths better is possibly it.

12/17/2018, 6:18 AMI can really sympathise with your headaches. I am currently limited to about 1 hour a day of screen time, just about enough for AoC (apart from D15) & it forces me to read the problem & think about it before starting to code.
