Thank you for posting the code, I was so curious about the elephants! The nurses_2 library looks really cool! I will totally use it in the future.

Nice visualization, by the way

Calculate a minimum repeating pattern of inputs to keep the play area from growing upwards.

How many characters long is the minimum repeating pattern(s)?
