Felt paranoid on this one, was expecting something
much worse for pt2.
The code that solved the puzzle was _extremely_
naive:
- It asumes puzzle input only contains mul() with
1-3 chars. The versioned code have `{1,3}` as safe
guard.
- p2 asumed initial chunk does not begin with
"n't". Would have been easy to handle though.
- p2 asumed junk strings as "don", "do", "don()t"
would not exist.
In other words, I was really lucky since I did not
look that closely on puzzle input beforehand.
Might have cut 60-90 seconds further if I had just
ran pt2 immidately instead of staring dumbly on the
test data (that changed for pt2).
Also, I got reminded that \d in regular expressions
is equal to `0-9`: it does not include commas and
punctations. The code that solved the puzzle was
paranoid and instead used `0-9`.
Managed to score ~1500th somehow despite this.
