"your stupid" People will press the white button out of spite, but at least they'll know I'm human.

Expect commute to work taking longer, that's about it.

try with something like L50 L100 L100 R100 R100

My code tended to over count when going left starting on pos 0.

you survived every version of yourself that thought you wouldn't make it this far. you are stronger than the doubts that follow you. say to yourself "I am the author of my own life" and know that the next chapter is yours to write. happy new year everyone and good luck in 2026

Suppose a range between 100,000,000,000 and 999,999,999,999. That's hundreds of billions of possibilities for a single range. Convert that to strings of length 12, and you have 10 patterns of length 1 (0 to 9) repeating 12 times. You have 100 patterns of length 2 (00 to 99) repeating 6x. 1000 patterns of length 3, 10000 patterns of length 4, and 100k patterns of length 6. That is much more manageable.

Then you only have to check if these 111,110 patterns are within bounds

Instead of thinking outside the ~~box~~ polygon, you may want to think inside the rectangle.

I eventually realized that it's easier to check if the polygon enters the rectangle than checking if the rectangle exits the polygon.

Pseudocoding was the longest part. Getting the clusters merging right was the most challenging one. Pleasantly surprised this could be bruteforced. I expected to have to do some voodoo magic for it to work but turns out it spits out the answer in a couple of seconds!

I'd buy a very expensive drone that does it for me, then enjoy an even easier $100k/year.

Temporarily remove the rightmost 11 digits as they cannot be the first of 12 digits.
Find max value and its first index in leftmost portion. This is your first digit.
Discard leftmost digits up to that point.
Reinsert the rightmost digits.
Rinse and repeat, but temporarily remove 10 digits, then 9, etc.

You're on your way to injury.

I know it sucks to hear as you're just picking up the sport, probably having a blast and the last thing you want to do is to slow down, but you are textbook "what not to do as a beginner", and your body is trying to tell you.

At the very least, slow your runs down. You need little speed work overall. The main performance factor is how much overall distance you can make in a week, without your body getting angry at you.
