The Elves managed to locate the chimney-squeeze prototype fabric for Santa's
|
|
|
|
|
|
suit (thanks to someone who helpfully wrote its box IDs on the wall of the
|
|
|
|
|
|
warehouse in the middle of the night). Unfortunately, anomalies are still
|
|
|
|
|
|
affecting them - nobody can even agree on how to cut the fabric.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The whole piece of fabric they're working on is a very large square - at
|
|
|
|
|
|
least 1000 inches on each side.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Each Elf has made a claim about which area of fabric would be ideal for
|
|
|
|
|
|
Santa's suit. All claims have an ID and consist of a single rectangle with
|
|
|
|
|
|
edges parallel to the edges of the fabric. Each claim's rectangle is defined
|
|
|
|
|
|
as follows:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
• The number of inches between the left edge of the fabric and the left
|
|
|
|
|
|
edge of the rectangle.
|
|
|
|
|
|
• The number of inches between the top edge of the fabric and the top edge
|
|
|
|
|
|
of the rectangle.
|
2018-12-06 17:22:55 +00:00
|
|
|
|
• The width of the rectangle in inches.
|
|
|
|
|
|
• The height of the rectangle in inches.
|
|
|

A claim like #123 @ 3,2: 5x4 means that claim ID 123 specifies a rectangle 3
|
|
|
|
|
|
inches from the left edge, 2 inches from the top edge, 5 inches wide, and 4
|
|
|
|
|
|
inches tall. Visually, it claims the square inches of fabric represented by
|
|
|
|
|
|
# (and ignores the square inches of fabric represented by .) in the diagram
|
|
|
|
|
|
below:

The problem is that many of the claims overlap, causing two or more claims
|
|
|
|
|
|
to cover part of the same areas. For example, consider the following claims:
|
2018-12-06 17:22:55 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
#1 @ 1,3: 4x4
|
|
|
|
|
|
#2 @ 3,1: 4x4
|
|
|
|
|
|
#3 @ 5,5: 2x2
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Visually, these claim the following areas:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
........
|
|
|
|
|
|
...2222.

The four square inches marked with X are claimed by both 1 and 2. (Claim 3,
|
|
|
|
|
|
while adjacent to the others, does not overlap either of them.)

If the Elves all proceed with their own plans, none of them will have enough
|
|
|
|
|
|
fabric. How many square inches of fabric are within two or more claims?

Amidst the chaos, you notice that exactly one claim doesn't overlap by even
|
|
|
|
|
|
a single square inch of fabric with any other claim. If you can somehow draw
|
|
|
|
|
|
attention to it, maybe the Elves will be able to make Santa's suit after
|
|
|
|
|
|
all!

|
|
|
For example, in the claims above, only claim 3 is intact after all claims
|
|
|
|
|
|
are made.
|
2018-12-06 17:22:55 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
What is the ID of the only claim that doesn't overlap?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Your puzzle answer was 775.
