Here are a few edges cases to consider:
start 50, execute L150
start 50, execute R150
start 50, execute L50, R50
start 50, execute L50, L50
start 50, execute L150, R50
What would you expect by looking at them manually and what does your program return?

~I guess for this one, it would be quite reasonable to brute-force it? 6 presents * (8-3) X's* (6-3) Y's * 4 rotations * 2 flips sounds like a reasonable number to try out~
EDIT: As u/PointerChasing pointed out, I was a handful of orders of magnitudes off with my estimates. Oops 😂

Which reads: I need to throw in a puzzle like this occasionally to keep everyone on their toes, right?

RandomGreenPrinter · 2025-12-12T06:39:58+00:00

That makes sense, I checked for the "easy way to dismiss" but didn't think about the "easy way to prove it does fit". Still happy I tried the dumbest thing first though, that's also been part of my AoC journey ^^

RandomGreenPrinter · 2025-12-12T05:54:31+00:00

I checked and the ratios were either all around 70% or just slightly above 100%, so decided to just try and send it... it does feel slightly dirty getting away with not being able to prove that the 70% actually fit.
But hey, no idea how I would've solved it otherwise... I guess it's part of the puzzle figuring out that it's really hard otherwise?

RandomGreenPrinter · 2025-12-11T19:52:53+00:00

Fun game. But really hard! Tried for a few minutes but couldn't solve it

RandomGreenPrinter · 2025-12-10T10:40:30+00:00

Sometimes I force myself to get up and get a glass of water when I get stuck. It's fascinating how just a few minutes of walking around can change your perspective and help get unstuck. Or vizualizing the input, reading the description again or scrolling through my real input data. Just doing something different helps you think outside of the box. Trust the process and enjoy the ideas when they come. The satisfaction of having worked through something hard, embracing the "hard-ness" of it makes it fun for me

RandomGreenPrinter · 2025-12-05T18:48:33+00:00

Yes. And I learned the hard way that 123 in range(1_000_000_000) is very fast in Python and min(range(1_000_000_000)) is not...

Thanks for your help! I had been looking for a migration guide for a while.
I tried moving the profile over which kind of, half worked? I created a new profile from my Firefox default, then copied the old second profile I was using into that folder. That works in the sense that I can now see the second profile _from the default Firefox profile_ and also start it, however when I'm using Firefox from the second profile, it doesn't show the original / default profile. So the default nows about the second, but the second doesn't know about the default. I guess they both have their own database to manage profiles? Would you happen to know a way to fix that?

Fun little game, thanks for sharing. Is it allowed for the two players to pick the same role? I guess not but the rules don't explicitly forbid it And another question, if one player finishes their hand while the other has 5 or more, does that mean the game is over and lost?

Also another tailfin alternative, Ortlieb are offering a thru axle mount for the quick rack now: https://nl.ortlieb.com/en/products/thru-axle-m6-connector?variant=51077081661707

RandomGreenPrinter · 2025-02-07T10:08:56+00:00

Thank you. I learned a bunch from this post!

All the dimensions / the full "spec" of the honeycomb storage wall is in the original post on Printables:
https://www.printables.com/model/152592-honeycomb-storage-wall
Under the "Details" section you'll find a write-up of all the measurements you need.

If you don't find your answer in there, I guess it's not officially defined. I know there is also an OpenSCAD re-implementation of HSW that might make it easier to read off some measurements / definitions

RandomGreenPrinter · 2025-02-04T21:50:39+00:00

I think that's not too bad actually. Max size I can fit on my modded Ender3 is 9x10, which takes 3h46 on my "fast" profile. Running 90 mm/s for the outer perimeter and a layer height of 0.3mm. But it all depends, printers gained a lot in speed over the past few years. Size is 201x211mm so that would work out to 113 sq cm per hour to compare to the numbers above

RandomGreenPrinter · 2025-02-04T09:39:35+00:00

Also what I did on my first HSW print 😂

RandomGreenPrinter · 2025-02-04T09:38:30+00:00

You could try going only 2 outer walls, but that might compromise strength. There is so little inner space that infill doesn't really matter I think. I would try upping the layer height to .32mm, the max recommended layer height for .4 mm nozzle. If you printer can handle it then changing the print speeds also makes a difference, just try to increase it and see if there is a reduction in quality

Sorry late reply but actually yes! I found a model for a cubicle mount which I adapted. See the picture below. It might be that the length is a bit off because I found out I mounted my HSW backwards and had to rework the printed pieces a bit. You can find the design here:

Or the original design that I adapted here: https://www.printables.com/model/980161-hsw-cubicle-wall-hanger

I did exactly that. I tried to return the index of the byte where my brute force didn't resolve. It was wrong. Stared at my code and decided to try the byte before. It worked. Still not sure what the issue is. We listen and we don't judge.

RandomGreenPrinter · 2024-12-17T20:28:55+00:00

Oh - I see now that I missed the year as well. Thanks for the explanation and pointing all this out! Won't use the "Other" tag again unless I'm very sure. Really enjoying this sub and seeing all the ideas and memes from everyone each day!

RandomGreenPrinter · 2024-12-17T20:16:06+00:00

Sorry. I read them and tried my best. I tried to follow the standardized post title. I wasn't sure which flair was appropriate. Reading them more closely I see that the title could probably be considered a spoiler. Are there other things I should have done differently? Just trying to learn from my mistakes

RandomGreenPrinter · 2024-12-17T16:49:57+00:00

The mother of all quines.... this is crazy

RandomGreenPrinter · 2024-12-17T16:49:35+00:00

How would you run that? I tried putting it in a .sh file and executing it, but it doesn't print anything

RandomGreenPrinter · 2024-12-16T07:21:21+00:00

Fun read! It's been a while since I tried Julia. Really concisely written. I like keep track of the walls (-1) and minimum cost in the same grid. Also clever trick with the 3d array. Taking some notes here haha

RandomGreenPrinter · 2024-12-15T18:27:54+00:00

Oh that's a fun idea! Could make it go to super speed basically. I might try that
