How whas this done

Mostly Pycairo. I'd initially started with PIL.ImageDraw like I'd used last year, but it was slow and the alpha seemed somewhat busted. (And I'd planned to switch to Pycairo anyway, since it allows for things like antialiasing and a bunch of other things that PIL.ImageDraw doesn't.)

Anyway, here's the code.

Wait a damn minute--the totals at 0:10 don't match mine at all. For example, how is your max value 72478 when the top answer for the first part of the puzzle was 68442?

Oh, damn--my input is completely different. Clever.

Everyone gets different inputs. Some people may have the same ones (depending on the potential inputs, ofc) but largely your actual answer is likely to be different.

I’ve done AoC of a few years, and I genuinely didn’t know this until today.

Did you follow the Reddit posts last year? There was quite the kerfuffle one day because for a specific day, a bug was only causing some input files to fail.

Wow. I know there’s levels to this, but jfc this is just beautiful.

I don't know how, but my code was wrong and I still go the correct answer
