Trying something with @deno_land and 😁

It's been extra long since I done anything in . So should be interesting.

Here's day 1 complete 😆

Day 2 done with some messing about for . I'm certainly relearning again . 🫠

This one took me much longer cause I didn't know how to handle mahjong slices of arrays in typescript. 😅

I got day 3 of done. It took a while. Mostly due to time to do it. 😅 Let's see of tomorrow getting some quality coding time. 🤞

This year, I was able to get to Day 6 in with ... before I needed to sleep at night. 🤣

I forgot how much time this stuff takes. I'll finish all the rest throughout the upcoming year. SLOWLY this time. 😅

I forgot how long part 2s can be. Parts 1 were like 30 minutes to an hour. But the part 2s were definitely the rest of the night. 🫠

@zeab In some cases, part 2 literally took seconds, depending on how lucky I was with my algorithm choice for part 1. Don’t underestimate yourself!

@teotwaki thank you! I haven't done these in a while, so I'm definitely lacking in these type of events. I used to do the problems daily for years... 😅 But that was years ago. 🤣

My bet however, this time was mostly time to do it. I had to squeeze between family and work. So like an hour to 2 hours a day at most. Else it was past midnight the next shot. 🫠
