Advent of Code
--- Day 6: Memory Reallocation ---
A debugger program here is having an issue: it is trying to repair a memory
reallocation routine, but it keeps getting stuck in an infinite loop.
In this area, there are sixteen memory banks; each memory bank can hold any
number of blocks. The goal of the reallocation routine is to balance the
blocks between the memory banks.
The reallocation routine operates in cycles. In each cycle, it finds the
memory bank with the most blocks (ties won by the lowest-numbered memory
bank) and redistributes those blocks among the banks. To do this, it removes
all of the blocks from the selected bank, then moves to the next (by index)
memory bank and inserts one of the blocks. It continues doing this until it
runs out of blocks; if it reaches the last memory bank, it wraps around to
the first one.
The debugger would like to know how many redistributions can be done before
a blocks-in-banks configuration is produced that has been seen before.
For example, imagine a scenario with only four memory banks:
 The banks start with 0, 2, 7, and 0 blocks. The third bank has the most
blocks, so it is chosen for redistribution.
 Starting with the next bank (the fourth bank) and then continuing to the
first bank, the second bank, and so on, the 7 blocks are spread out over
the memory banks. The fourth, first, and second banks get two blocks each,
and the third bank gets one back. The final result looks like this: 2 4 1
2.
 Next, the second bank is chosen because it contains the most blocks
(four). Because there are four memory banks, each gets one block. The
result is: 3 1 2 3.
 Now, there is a tie between the first and fourth memory banks, both of
which have three blocks. The first bank wins the tie, and its three blocks
are distributed evenly over the other three banks, leaving it with none: 0
2 3 4.
 The fourth bank is chosen, and its four blocks are distributed such that
each of the four banks receives one: 1 3 4 1.
 The third bank is chosen, and the same thing happens: 2 4 1 2.
At this point, we've reached a state we've seen before: 2 4 1 2 was already
seen. The infinite loop is detected after the fifth block redistribution
cycle, and so the answer in this example is 5.
Given the initial block counts in your puzzle input, how many redistribution
cycles must be completed before a configuration is produced that has been
seen before?
Your puzzle answer was 12841.
--- Part Two ---
Out of curiosity, the debugger would also like to know the size of the loop:
starting from a state that has already been seen, how many block
redistribution cycles must be performed before that same state is seen
again?
In the example above, 2 4 1 2 is seen again after four cycles, and so the
answer in that example would be 4.
How many cycles are in the infinite loop that arises from the configuration
in your puzzle input?
Your puzzle answer was 8038.

--- Day 11: Hex Ed ---
Crossing the bridge, you've barely reached the other side of the stream when a program comes up to you, clearly in distress. "It's my child process," she says, "he's gotten lost in an infinite grid!"
Fortunately for her, you have plenty of experience with infinite grids.
Unfortunately for you, it's a hex grid.
The hexagons ("hexes") in this grid are aligned such that adjacent hexes can be found to the north, northeast, southeast, south, southwest, and northwest:
\ n /
nw +--+ ne
/ \
-+ +-
\ /
sw +--+ se
/ s \
You have the path the child process took. Starting where he started, you need to determine the fewest number of steps required to reach him. (A "step" means to move from the hex you are in to any adjacent hex.)
For example:
 ne,ne,ne is 3 steps away.
 ne,ne,sw,sw is 0 steps away (back where you started).
 ne,ne,s,s is 2 steps away (se,se).
 se,sw,se,sw,sw is 3 steps away (s,s,sw).
Your puzzle answer was 747.

Advent of Code
--- Day 15: Dueling Generators ---
Here, you encounter a pair of dueling generators. The generators, called
generator A and generator B, are trying to agree on a sequence of numbers.
However, one of them is malfunctioning, and so the sequences don't always
match.
As they do this, a judge waits for each of them to generate its next value,
compares the lowest 16 bits of both values, and keeps track of the number of
times those parts of the values match.
The generators both work on the same principle. To create its next value, a
generator will take the previous value it produced, multiply it by a factor
(generator A uses 16807; generator B uses 48271), and then keep the
remainder of dividing that resulting product by 2147483647. That final
remainder is the value it produces next.
To calculate each generator's first value, it instead uses a specific
starting value as its "previous value" (as listed in your puzzle input).
For example, suppose that for starting values, generator A uses 65, while
generator B uses 8921. Then, the first five pairs of generated values are:
--Gen. A-- --Gen. B--
1092455 430625591
1181022009 1233683848
245556042 1431495498
1744312007 137874439
1352636452 285222916
In binary, these pairs are (with generator A's value first in each pair):
00000000000100001010101101100111
00011001101010101101001100110111
01000110011001001111011100111001
01001001100010001000010110001000
00001110101000101110001101001010
01010101010100101110001101001010
01100111111110000001011011000111
00001000001101111100110000000111
01010000100111111001100000100100
00010001000000000010100000000100
Here, you can see that the lowest (here, rightmost) 16 bits of the third
value match: 1110001101001010. Because of this one match, after processing
these five pairs, the judge would have added only 1 to its total.
To get a significant sample, the judge would like to consider 40 million
pairs. (In the example above, the judge would eventually find a total of 588
pairs that match in their lowest 16 bits.)
After 40 million pairs, what is the judge's final count?
Your puzzle answer was 626.
--- Part Two ---
In the interest of trying to align a little better, the generators get more
picky about the numbers they actually give to the judge.
They still generate values in the same way, but now they only hand a value
to the judge when it meets their criteria:
 Generator A looks for values that are multiples of 4.
 Generator B looks for values that are multiples of 8.
Each generator functions completely independently: they both go through
values entirely on their own, only occasionally handing an acceptable value
to the judge, and otherwise working through the same sequence of values as
before until they find one.
The judge still waits for each generator to provide it with a value before
comparing them (using the same comparison method as before). It keeps track
of the order it receives values; the first values from each generator are
compared, then the second values from each generator, then the third values,
and so on.
Using the example starting values given above, the generators now produce
the following first five values each:
--Gen. A-- --Gen. B--
1352636452 1233683848
1992081072 862516352
530830436 1159784568
1980017072 1616057672
740335192 412269392
These values have the following corresponding binary values:
01010000100111111001100000100100
01001001100010001000010110001000
01110110101111001011111010110000
00110011011010001111010010000000
00011111101000111101010001100100
01000101001000001110100001111000
01110110000001001010100110110000
01100000010100110001010101001000
00101100001000001001111001011000
00011000100100101011101101010000
Unfortunately, even though this change makes more bits similar on average,
none of these values' lowest 16 bits match. Now, it's not until the 1056th
pair that the judge finds the first match:
--Gen. A-- --Gen. B--
1023762912 896885216
00111101000001010110000111100000
00110101011101010110000111100000
This change makes the generators much slower, and the judge is getting
impatient; it is now only willing to consider 5 million pairs. (Using the
values from the example above, after five million pairs, the judge would
eventually find a total of 309 pairs that match in their lowest 16 bits.)
After 5 million pairs, but using this new generator logic, what is the
judge's final count?
Your puzzle answer was 306.

Advent of Code
--- Day 21: Fractal Art ---
You find a program trying to generate some art. It uses a strange process
that involves repeatedly enhancing the detail of an image through a set of
rules.
The image consists of a two-dimensional square grid of pixels that are
either on (#) or off (.). The program always begins with this pattern:
.#.
..#
###
Because the pattern is both 3 pixels wide and 3 pixels tall, it is said to
have a size of 3.
Then, the program repeats the following process:
 If the size is evenly divisible by 2, break the pixels up into 2x2
squares, and convert each 2x2 square into a 3x3 square by following the
corresponding enhancement rule.
 Otherwise, the size is evenly divisible by 3; break the pixels up into
3x3 squares, and convert each 3x3 square into a 4x4 square by following
the corresponding enhancement rule.
Because each square of pixels is replaced by a larger one, the image gains
pixels and so its size increases.
The artist's book of enhancement rules is nearby (your puzzle input);
however, it seems to be missing rules. The artist explains that sometimes,
one must rotate or flip the input pattern to find a match. (Never rotate or
flip the output pattern, though.) Each pattern is written concisely: rows
are listed as single units, ordered top-down, and separated by slashes. For
example, the following rules correspond to the adjacent patterns:
../.# = ..
.#
.#.
.#./..#/### = ..#
###
#..#
#..#/..../#..#/.##. = ....
#..#
.##.
When searching for a rule to use, rotate and flip the pattern as necessary.
For example, all of the following patterns match the same rule:
.#. .#. #.. ###
..# #.. #.# ..#
### ### ##. .#.
Suppose the book contained the following two rules:
../.# => ##./#../...
.#./..#/### => #..#/..../..../#..#
As before, the program begins with this pattern:
.#.
..#
###
The size of the grid (3) is not divisible by 2, but it is divisible by 3. It
divides evenly into a single square; the square matches the second rule,
which produces:
#..#
....
....
#..#
The size of this enhanced grid (4) is evenly divisible by 2, so that rule is
used. It divides evenly into four squares:
#.|.#
..|..
--+--
..|..
#.|.#
Each of these squares matches the same rule (../.# => ##./#../...), three of
which require some flipping and rotation to line up with the rule. The
output for the rule is the same in all four cases:
##.|##.
#..|#..
...|...
---+---
##.|##.
#..|#..
...|...
Finally, the squares are joined into a new grid:
##.##.
#..#..
......
##.##.
#..#..
......
Thus, after 2 iterations, the grid contains 12 pixels that are on.
How many pixels stay on after 5 iterations?
Your puzzle answer was 164.
--- Part Two ---
How many pixels stay on after 18 iterations?
Your puzzle answer was 2355110.

--- Day 23: Coprocessor Conflagration ---
You decide to head directly to the CPU and fix the printer from there. As
you get close, you find an experimental coprocessor doing so much work that
the local programs are afraid it will halt and catch fire. This would cause
serious issues for the rest of the computer, so you head in and see what you
can do.
The code it's running seems to be a variant of the kind you saw recently on
that tablet. The general functionality seems very similar, but some of the
instructions are different:
 set X Y sets register X to the value of Y.
 sub X Y decreases register X by the value of Y.
 mul X Y sets register X to the result of multiplying the value contained
in register X by the value of Y.
 jnz X Y jumps with an offset of the value of Y, but only if the value of
X is not zero. (An offset of 2 skips the next instruction, an offset of -1
jumps to the previous instruction, and so on.)
Only the instructions listed above are used. The eight registers here,
named a through h, all start at 0.
The coprocessor is currently set to some kind of debug mode, which allows
for testing, but prevents it from doing any meaningful work.
If you run the program (your puzzle input), how many times is the mul
instruction invoked?
Your puzzle answer was 9409.
--- Part Two ---
Now, it's time to fix the problem.
The debug mode switch is wired directly to register a. You flip the switch,
which makes register a now start at 1 when the program is executed.
Immediately, the coprocessor begins to overheat. Whoever wrote this program
obviously didn't choose a very efficient implementation. You'll need to
optimize the program if it has any hope of completing before Santa needs
that printer working.
The coprocessor's ultimate goal is to determine the final value left in
register h once the program completes. Technically, if it had that... it
wouldn't even need to run the program.
After setting register a to 1, if the program were to run to completion,
what value would be left in register h?
Your puzzle answer was 913.

Advent of Code
--- Day 24: Electromagnetic Moat ---
The CPU itself is a large, black building surrounded by a bottomless pit.
Enormous metal tubes extend outward from the side of the building at regular
intervals and descend down into the void. There's no way to cross, but you
need to get inside.
No way, of course, other than building a bridge out of the magnetic
components strewn about nearby.
Each component has two ports, one on each end. The ports come in all
different types, and only matching types can be connected. You take an
inventory of the components by their port types (your puzzle input). Each
port is identified by the number of pins it uses; more pins mean a stronger
connection for your bridge. A 3/7 component, for example, has a type-3 port
on one side, and a type-7 port on the other.
Your side of the pit is metallic; a perfect surface to connect a magnetic,
zero-pin port. Because of this, the first port you use must be of type 0. It
doesn't matter what type of port you end with; your goal is just to make the
bridge as strong as possible.
The strength of a bridge is the sum of the port types in each component. For
example, if your bridge is made of components 0/3, 3/7, and 7/4, your bridge
has a strength of 0+3 + 3+7 + 7+4 = 24.
For example, suppose you had the following components:
0/2
2/2
2/3
3/4
3/5
0/1
10/1
9/10
With them, you could make the following valid bridges:
 0/1
 0/1--10/1
 0/1--10/1--9/10
 0/2
 0/2--2/3
 0/2--2/3--3/4
 0/2--2/3--3/5
 0/2--2/2
 0/2--2/2--2/3
 0/2--2/2--2/3--3/4
 0/2--2/2--2/3--3/5
(Note how, as shown by 10/1, order of ports within a component doesn't
matter. However, you may only use each port on a component once.)
Of these bridges, the strongest one is 0/1--10/1--9/10; it has a strength of
0+1 + 1+10 + 10+9 = 31.
What is the strength of the strongest bridge you can make with the
components you have available?
Your puzzle answer was 1868.
--- Part Two ---
The bridge you've built isn't long enough; you can't jump the rest of the way.
In the example above, there are two longest bridges:
 0/2--2/2--2/3--3/4
 0/2--2/2--2/3--3/5
Of them, the one which uses the 3/5 component is stronger; its strength is
0+2 + 2+2 + 2+3 + 3+5 = 19.
What is the strength of the longest bridge you can make? If you can make
multiple bridges of the longest length, pick the strongest one.
Your puzzle answer was 1841.
Both parts of this puzzle are complete! They provide two gold stars: **
At this point, all that is left is for you to admire your advent calendar.
If you still want to see it, you can get your puzzle input.

Advent of Code
--- Day 25: The Halting Problem ---
Following the twisty passageways deeper and deeper into the CPU, you finally
reach the core of the computer. Here, in the expansive central chamber, you
find a grand apparatus that fills the entire room, suspended nanometers
above your head.
You had always imagined CPUs to be noisy, chaotic places, bustling with
activity. Instead, the room is quiet, motionless, and dark.
Suddenly, you and the CPU's garbage collector startle each other. "It's not
often we get many visitors here!", he says. You inquire about the stopped
machinery.
"It stopped milliseconds ago; not sure why. I'm a garbage collector, not a
doctor." You ask what the machine is for.
"Programs these days, don't know their origins. That's the Turing machine!
It's what makes the whole computer work." You try to explain that Turing
machines are merely models of computation, but he cuts you off. "No, see,
that's just what they want you to think. Ultimately, inside every CPU,
there's a Turing machine driving the whole thing! Too bad this one's broken.
We're doomed!"
You ask how you can help. "Well, unfortunately, the only way to get the
computer running again would be to create a whole new Turing machine from
scratch, but there's no way you can-" He notices the look on your face,
gives you a curious glance, shrugs, and goes back to sweeping the floor.
You find the Turing machine blueprints (your puzzle input) on a tablet in a
nearby pile of debris. Looking back up at the broken Turing machine above,
you can start to identify its parts:
 A tape which contains 0 repeated infinitely to the left and right.
 A cursor, which can move left or right along the tape and read or write
values at its current position.
 A set of states, each containing rules about what to do based on the
current value under the cursor.
Each slot on the tape has two possible values: 0 (the starting value for all
slots) and 1. Based on whether the cursor is pointing at a 0 or a 1, the
current state says what value to write at the current position of the
cursor, whether to move the cursor left or right one slot, and which state
to use next.
For example, suppose you found the following blueprint:
Begin in state A.
Perform a diagnostic checksum after 6 steps.
In state A:
If the current value is 0:
- Write the value 1.
- Move one slot to the right.
- Continue with state B.
If the current value is 1:
- Write the value 0.
- Move one slot to the left.
- Continue with state B.
In state B:
If the current value is 0:
- Write the value 1.
- Move one slot to the left.
- Continue with state A.
If the current value is 1:
- Write the value 1.
- Move one slot to the right.
- Continue with state A.
Running it until the number of steps required to take the listed diagnostic
checksum would result in the following tape configurations (with the cursor
marked in square brackets):
... 0 0 0 [0] 0 0 ... (before any steps; about to run state A)
... 0 0 0 1 [0] 0 ... (after 1 step; about to run state B)
... 0 0 0 [1] 1 0 ... (after 2 steps; about to run state A)
... 0 0 [0] 0 1 0 ... (after 3 steps; about to run state B)
... 0 [0] 1 0 1 0 ... (after 4 steps; about to run state A)
... 0 1 [1] 0 1 0 ... (after 5 steps; about to run state B)
... 0 1 1 [0] 1 0 ... (after 6 steps; about to run state A)
The CPU can confirm that the Turing machine is working by taking a
diagnostic checksum after a specific number of steps (given in the
blueprint). Once the specified number of steps have been executed, the
Turing machine should pause; once it does, count the number of times 1
appears on the tape. In the above example, the diagnostic checksum is 3.
Recreate the Turing machine and save the computer! What is the diagnostic
checksum it produces once it's working again?
Your puzzle answer was 5593.
--- Part Two ---
The Turing machine, and soon the entire computer, springs back to life. A
console glows dimly nearby, awaiting your command.
> reboot printer
Error: That command requires priority 50. You currently have priority 0.
You must deposit 50 stars to increase your priority to the required level.
The console flickers for a moment, and then prints another message:
Star accepted.
You must deposit 49 stars to increase your priority to the required level.
The garbage collector winks at you, then continues sweeping.
If you like, you can [ [Reboot the Printer Again] ] .
