Really proud of this one! Started with with an O(n^atoms in the universe) scan which took 44s even after adding a dedup check.
But iterating on a trick to encode the deltas for the dedup check, using it to build a mapping table here, a lookup there etc brought it down to a very fast, fairly low memory, linear complexity solution!
