at first I was trying to extend my

Solution to problem 1


Which consists of passing a value to a funnel that is the vector whose elements are maps.

That would mean iterating one-by-one over seed ranges. Obviously this is too slow.

but then I deviated and started trying to redo the solution to problem 2 from scratch, at one point thinking about using a

spoilercustom tree based solution.

But my laziness won and I went back to my problem 1 solution and extended it there. Like you, faced off-by-one errors caused by not reading the problem statement properly.
