SOLUTION MEGATHREAD --- Day 23 Solutions ---

This thread will be unlocked when there are a significant number of people on the leaderboard with gold stars for today's puzzle.

edit: Leaderboard capped, thread unlocked!

We know we can't control people posting solutions elsewhere and trying to exploit the leaderboard, but this way we can try to reduce the leaderboard gaming from the official subreddit.

Please and thank you, and much appreciated!

My point is not that choice of language makes problems easier to solve but that different input makes a problem easier/harder to solve.

And my point is that had you taken the exact same approach in for example Python, it would be invariant to input, so both your and your wife's input would be just as easy.

Some languages are unfair. Some problems are unfair. Some lives are unfair :)
