--- Day 2: I Was Told There Would Be No Math ---
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The elves are running low on wrapping paper, and so they need to submit an order for more. They
|
|||
|
|
have a list of the dimensions (length l, width w, and height h) of each present, and only want
|
|||
|
|
to order exactly as much as they need.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Fortunately, every present is a box (a perfect right rectangular prism), which makes
|
|||
|
|
calculating the required wrapping paper for each gift a little easier: find the surface area of
|
|||
|
|
the box, which is 2*l*w + 2*w*h + 2*h*l. The elves also need a little extra paper for each
|
|||
|
|
present: the area of the smallest side.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
For example:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
• A present with dimensions 2x3x4 requires 2*6 + 2*12 + 2*8 = 52 square feet of wrapping
|
|||
|
|
paper plus 6 square feet of slack, for a total of 58 square feet.
|
|||
|
|
• A present with dimensions 1x1x10 requires 2*1 + 2*10 + 2*10 = 42 square feet of wrapping
|
|||
|
|
paper plus 1 square foot of slack, for a total of 43 square feet.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
All numbers in the elves' list are in feet. How many total square feet of wrapping paper should
|
|||
|
|
they order?
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|

--- Part Two ---
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The elves are also running low on ribbon. Ribbon is all the same width, so they only have to
|
|||
|
|
worry about the length they need to order, which they would again like to be exact.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The ribbon required to wrap a present is the shortest distance around its sides, or the
|
|||
|
|
smallest perimeter of any one face. Each present also requires a bow made out of ribbon as
|
|||
|
|
well; the feet of ribbon required for the perfect bow is equal to the cubic feet of volume of
|
|||
|
|
the present. Don't ask how they tie the bow, though; they'll never tell.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
For example:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
• A present with dimensions 2x3x4 requires 2+2+3+3 = 10 feet of ribbon to wrap the present
|
|||
|
|
plus 2*3*4 = 24 feet of ribbon for the bow, for a total of 34 feet.
|
|||
|
|
• A present with dimensions 1x1x10 requires 1+1+1+1 = 4 feet of ribbon to wrap the present
|
|||
|
|
plus 1*1*10 = 10 feet of ribbon for the bow, for a total of 14 feet.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
How many total feet of ribbon should they order?
|
|||
|
|
