Well, that was a month. Congrats everyone who has reached the end, and thanks to everyone who has contributed solutions and advice.

Sometime in January I will create a megathread for visualizations. If anyone has any other ideas, happy to hear them, otherwise, take a well earned 11 month rest until next year :D

Not the first year I participate but the first year I finished, 2021 was my all-time high so far with 42 stars when I was just starting oit and learning python. Knowing that there were more people in the same boat and that there was a competition kept me going, although the competiton also induced a lot of stress, not sure whether I want to keep the competitive attitude.

Thanks to everyone for uploding solutions, Ideas and program stats, this kept me optimizing away, which was a lot of fun!

I dont care for the global leaderboard, its mostly LLMs and competitive programmers, who are way too fast. "Competing" against everyone here is much less stressful and more enjoyable.

This was my first finish as well,last year I bailed after day 12.
