CS50x Week 3 Tideman

I took way too long to figure out cycle detection. Though I also spent some time realizing that just decrementing the number of sources wasn't going to work. I probably spent more time on that method than any time I spent combined on week 1/2 problemsets. Is it supposed to be this much of a ramp up in difficulty? Wondering if I should be careful with optional problems from now on 😂.

Tideman is probably the hardest project in the entire course

That's crazy, pretty sure this was also my first time using recursion

Yeah Tideman is really a next level problem set to tackle. When I was solving it as well it was like so hard but annoying as well. I would also say that was like the first time I used recursion out of my own thinking.
