Part 2 is forgiving today and certainly a lot easier than yesterdays which i spent most of the day on

Nice!
I think I've hit the point where, having had essentially no time to work on these this weekend meaning I'll have three to do tomorrow, I'll end up completing the challenges at some point between now and February.

The last couple of days have been a slog

I think last year was the closest I ever came to completing them as they came. Previous years I genuinely have finished off a month or two later. And I went back and finished 2015 at the start of this month.

I completed 2015 on top of 2020 last year and half of 2016

@jongeorge1 I was soo good until yesterdays when I ran out of time, going to try and do todays tonight then work out when I'm going to catch up

Todays is pretty straightforward.
I need to catch up with yesterday's, which looks like the equivalent of last year's dragon map.
Well, I did yesterday's earlier. It's definitely one of the slowest so far but I can't be bothered to look for all the stupidity that's slowing it down. Might come back to it another day.
Like.... reaallly slow

Another good day in rankings
Today's puzzle reminded me of a puzzle last year that uses the same method to complete part 2

Oh. So now I'm wondering if it's a) recursive combat, or b) the one where it turns out there's a million cups. Maybe the game will be played with a D1000000...

Which I used memorization last year to solve part 2

Essentially you play out a game in every single multiple universe
Looking up Dirac pointed that out straight away as he was a theoretical physicist in quantum mechanics

Catching up on day 18 really reinforces my general disliking of working with strings. Not helping myself with language choice but I doubt I'll ever find it not tedious

Merry Christmas all, this year has well and truly done me in
