I can't code today because of travel, just as the one that might run slow enough to geek out on benchmarking the various options. Does seem like it's a bit of a jump in difficulty from previous days.
Based on the slow trickle of results pt2 was very hard. But, having now got a good result, its not that difficult, but getting to that solution/algorithm took a lot of brain power.
I hope todays is a little bit more relaxed.
wish not granted
Yeah, today is rough as well. I guess I jinxed it.
