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.

Advent of Code 2024
Solutions for #aoc2024 in Python 3 (3.12.7).
Programming setup:
- Lenovo Thinkpad X260
- Arch Linux with Hyprland
- Zed editor (Ruff, Pyright)
- Firefox
- Alacritty
Help scripts
Display all solved puzzles:
python aoc.py
To bootstrap a new puzzle (creates input/<day_no>.txt and output/day_<day_no>.py):
python aoc.py <day_no> new
Manually copy the puzzle input from https://adventofcode.com and paste it in input/<day_no>.txt
to start coding.
wl-paste > input/<day_no>.txt
Solve separate puzzle (replace XX with the puzzle number):
python -m output.day_XX
Solve separate puzzle using stdin (replace XX with the puzzle number):
wl-paste | python -m output.day_XX
cat tmpfile | python -m output.day_XX
Execute separate puzzle on file save (replace XX with the puzzle number):
ls output/*.py | entr -c -s 'wlpaste | python -m output.day_XX'
ls output/*.py | entr -c -s 'cat tmpfile | python -m output.day_XX'
ls output/*.py | entr -c -r python -m output.day_XX
(requires entr and wl-paste, Mac users can instead use pbpaste. If you
prefer X at Linux, use xclip -selection clipboard -o).
To lint files:
ls output/*.py | entr -r -c flake8 output --ignore=E741,E501,E203
