Would you mind getting me a copy of your data set? Iād love to play with it.
That was cute. It worked for me with your sample input (and got the correct value), however, I think I know what happened here.
I've edited the post and you can grab the working version from here. If you're using python3 like a normal person, and not python2 like a silly person like me, my original version wouldn't work since it assumed integer math. But PEP-238 changed the rules a bit. I've changed it to use the integer divide operator so it works in both python2 and 3.
Thanks for the sample data! This is lesson #789345 that I need to move on to python3. One day I will.
I have never bought gold before, but I have been banging my head on this problem for the past two days and your solution was the first to work. So enjoy your gold.
Thanks for the gold!
I've been there before, so don't fret too much over it (Heck, I'm going through AoC 2016 right now and got stuck hard on day 11). Hopefully you can get past the annoyance of not being able to solve it and learn a thing or two. It's tough .. I know.
I know this is going to sound crazy but I literally solved 2016 day 11 by using OpenOffice Calc and moving cells around like in the example, by making sure I don't go too fast. I remember I took a look at the leaderboard first (I did 2016 in October-November 2018) and realized that it was a pretty long challenge, that's why I decided to play around with a spreadsheet first. Turned out the spreadsheet was sufficient for getting the stars and I spent less time than the 85th person or so for part 1 + part2. https://github.com/sebranly/advent-of-code#easy-challenges

Of course, if I did it in 2016 (on time) I wouldn't have had access to the leaderboard and would have decided to implement it with some code and I wouldn't have had a spot in the worldwide leaderboard anyway.
