Day 3: Gear Ratios


Megathread guidelines

  • Keep top level comments as only solutions, if you want to say something other than a solution put it in a new post. (replies to comments can be whatever)
  • Code block support is not fully rolled out yet but likely will be in the middle of the event. Try to share solutions as both code blocks and using something such as https://topaz.github.io/paste/ or pastebin (code blocks to future proof it for when 0.19 comes out and since code blocks currently function in some apps and some instances as well if they are running a 0.19 beta)

    I like it, it’s simple and to the point. I’ve learned that one of the most helpful things to do when solving these puzzles is to not make it more complicated than it needs to be, and you certainly succeeded better at that today than I did.

      My solution for day 1 part 1 was simple and to the point. The other ones are getting increasingly less so. You’re right that sometimes it’s best not to get too fancy, but I think soon I may have to break out such advanced programming techniques as “functions” and maybe “objects”, instead of writing increasingly convoluted piles of nested loops. xD
