Well, that was a month. Congrats everyone who has reached the end, and thanks to everyone who has contributed solutions and advice.
Sometime in January I will create a megathread for visualizations. If anyone has any other ideas, happy to hear them, otherwise, take a well earned 11 month rest until next year :D
You're right. And my library aversion definitely made it harder. I think the day I learned the most was day 19, the towel one. Seemed simple at first but I just couldn't wrap my mind around it, looked at a few solutions and one of the dynamic programming one solutions just blew my mind. Took me an hour or so to just wrap my head around it and then once I understood it I was able to write that abomination I posted from scratch (well, without needing to reference what I studied).
where did you see that solution in the lemmy topic?
