--- Day 3: Squares With Three Sides ---
|
|
|
|
Now that you can think clearly, you move deeper into the labyrinth of hallways and office
|
|
furniture that makes up this part of Easter Bunny HQ. This must be a graphic design
|
|
department; the walls are covered in specifications for triangles.
|
|
|
|
Or are they?
|
|
|
|
The design document gives the side lengths of each triangle it describes, but... 5 10 25? Some
|
|
of these aren't triangles. You can't help but mark the impossible ones.
|
|
|
|
In a valid triangle, the sum of any two sides must be larger than the remaining side. For
|
|
example, the "triangle" given above is impossible, because 5 + 10 is not larger than 25.
|
|
|
|
In your puzzle input, how many of the listed triangles are possible?
|
|
|
|
Your puzzle answer was 869.
|
|
|
|
The first half of this puzzle is complete! It provides one gold star: *
|
|
|
|
--- Part Two ---
|
|
|
|
Now that you've helpfully marked up their design documents, it occurs to you that triangles
|
|
are specified in groups of three vertically. Each set of three numbers in a column specifies a
|
|
triangle. Rows are unrelated.
|
|
|
|
For example, given the following specification, numbers with the same hundreds digit would be
|
|
part of the same triangle:
|
|
|
|
101 301 501
|
|
102 302 502
|
|
103 303 503
|
|
201 401 601
|
|
202 402 602
|
|
203 403 603
|
|
|
|
In your puzzle input, and instead reading by columns, how many of the listed triangles are
|
|
possible?
|
|
|
|
Although it hasn't changed, you can still get your puzzle input.
