Eh... we'll see how long I keep up with it. Off to a good start at least
---

ooh this looks fun... tag for later
---

where all the coders at
---

not on any leaderboards or anything, but i did the first day. I'll catch up when i'm done with finals

I'll probably never get on the leaderboard, because I'm not really interested in staying up waiting all night. In my timezone new puzzles drop at around 3 AM. Even if I did stay up, people are crazy fast so I might not make it, especially not for the easy puzzles. Here are my stats so far (it'll probably look really messy, i just copy paste):

Finally finished today's puzzle. It wasn't really difficult, but I started off with misinterpreting the instructions a lot, then went on to do stupid summing mistakes that Python allowed me to do because Python is too nice. Fun puzzle though but eeeh

The early ones you should be able to solve in a snafoo, honestly. The trickier ones aren't big, but some can be a bit hairy.

Today's one was quite fun! I first made a super slow solution, but after some tweaks and some peaks on Reddit it runs in less than a second. First version was approx 1min runtime.
