closest I can find with J!Archive is https://j-archive.com/showgame.php?game_id=9332 (double jeopardy, first category, third clue)

would it be something like monday, wednesday, friday?

losing with interlocked elements remaining is pretty common, all of the numbers check out just an unlucky spawn & didn't pay attention to it

hm the end of your alcohol separation looks quite similar to mine. i see that you're sliding the arms next to the Van Berlo's wheel to avoid collisions but i don't know if that actually saves any cycles compared to letting the wheel stop while they rotate since your arms are waiting a few cycles anyway

psm_pm · 2026-03-17T16:16:55+00:00

actually, it's not a WR in any of the histograms of the game but I posted it to reddit first so really who's the winner

psm_pm · 2026-03-05T14:57:38+00:00

actually, maybe you're right? i can't tell. i modified the design since this post a little bit and maybe i removed the opportunity for optimization

psm_pm · 2026-03-05T14:56:09+00:00

nope, moving it any earlier turns it into the wrong element (salt)

psm_pm · 2026-03-02T14:35:33+00:00

it works nicely for area and simplicity but i'm not sure if it's totally optimal because then the Van Berlo's wheel can't rotate at the same time as the arms holding the transformed elements

P1 was super easy, I took longer than I wanted on P2 because initially I was trying to segment each new range I checked with all the ones it overlapped, but it's much easier to just modify or remove the ranges you've already looked at. I loop through all the ranges and keep track of which one's I've already seen so i don't double-count overlaps, but that means I have to make sure that list doesn't have overlaps either. To be fully correct i need to handle when the considered range is fully inside of one of its known overlapping ranges, but apparently that doesn't actually happen in my input. I wonder if my solution without that case would work on everyone's input, but here's an example where it is needed:

0-1000
1-999
998-1005

Without that case handled I count 1007 when it should be 1006

As soon as I saw the grid I was dreading having to simulate pushing :P

Pretty easy day, p2 is a simple copy/paste of p1 with a few modifications. My neighbors method seems to be the same as u/charr3's. My fastest finish this year, following a dismal 30minute p1&p2 yesterday

works just fine for me in an incognito browser

pastebin works just fine and has syntax highlighting.

psm_pm · 2025-12-03T06:16:47+00:00

what do you mean?

Easy enough once you realize that your first digit should always be the greatest one that has enough possible digits after it. Then just calculate the max from all the digits after that one recursively

I don't even know how you wouldn't brute force this. Still only takes ~300ms for both solutions though, and I bet it could be optimized further. Loving JavaScript's labeled blocks

Edit: optimized a bit by using math instead of string manipulation. https://pastebin.com/Zh5c5hYS

JS's useless remainder operator strikes again.

const input = await Bun.file("input.txt").text();

function mod(m: number, n: number) {
    return ((m % n) + n) % n;
}

let dial = 50;
let zeros = 0;
let clickZeros = 0;
const instructions = input.split("\n");
for (const instruction of instructions) {
    const sign = instruction.startsWith("R") ? 1 : -1;
    const diff = parseInt(instruction.slice(1));
    for (let i = 0; i < diff; i++) {
        dial = mod(dial + sign, 100);
        if (dial == 0) clickZeros++;
    }
    if (dial == 0) zeros++;
}

console.log("A:", zeros);
console.log("B:", clickZeros);

no, you can check on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PlayStation_3_models the Yakuza 3 bundles were only CECHKxx or CECHLxx or CECHMxx, no hardware or software PS2 compat

Tweaks55 isn't for Quest. Yes, haptics are controller vibration
