--- Day 15: Science for Hungry People ---
|
||
|
||
Today, you set out on the task of perfecting your milk-dunking cookie
|
||
recipe. All you have to do is find the right balance of ingredients.
|
||
|
||
Your recipe leaves room for exactly 100 teaspoons of ingredients. You make a
|
||
list of the remaining ingredients you could use to finish the recipe (your
|
||
puzzle input) and their properties per teaspoon:
|
||
|
||
• capacity (how well it helps the cookie absorb milk)
|
||
|
||
• durability (how well it keeps the cookie intact when full of milk)
|
||
|
||
• flavor (how tasty it makes the cookie)
|
||
|
||
• texture (how it improves the feel of the cookie)
|
||
|
||
• calories (how many calories it adds to the cookie)
|
||
|
||
You can only measure ingredients in whole-teaspoon amounts accurately, and
|
||
you have to be accurate so you can reproduce your results in the future. The
|
||
total score of a cookie can be found by adding up each of the properties
|
||
(negative totals become 0) and then multiplying together everything except
|
||
calories.
|
||
|
||
For instance, suppose you have these two ingredients:
|
||
|
||
Butterscotch: capacity -1, durability -2, flavor 6, texture 3, calories 8
|
||
Cinnamon: capacity 2, durability 3, flavor -2, texture -1, calories 3
|
||
|
||
Then, choosing to use 44 teaspoons of butterscotch and 56 teaspoons of
|
||
cinnamon (because the amounts of each ingredient must add up to 100) would
|
||
result in a cookie with the following properties:
|
||
|
||
• A capacity of 44*-1 + 56*2 = 68
|
||
• A durability of 44*-2 + 56*3 = 80
|
||
• A flavor of 44*6 + 56*-2 = 152
|
||
• A texture of 44*3 + 56*-1 = 76
|
||
|
||
Multiplying these together (68 * 80 * 152 * 76, ignoring calories for now)
|
||
results in a total score of 62842880, which happens to be the best score
|
||
possible given these ingredients. If any properties had produced a negative
|
||
total, it would have instead become zero, causing the whole score to
|
||
multiply to zero.
|
||
|
||
Given the ingredients in your kitchen and their properties, what is the
|
||
total score of the highest-scoring cookie you can make?
|
||
|
||
Your puzzle answer was 18965440.
|
||
|
||
--- Part Two ---
|
||
|
||
Your cookie recipe becomes wildly popular! Someone asks if you can make
|
||
another recipe that has exactly 500 calories per cookie (so they can use it
|
||
as a meal replacement). Keep the rest of your award-winning process the same
|
||
(100 teaspoons, same ingredients, same scoring system).
|
||
|
||
For example, given the ingredients above, if you had instead selected 40
|
||
teaspoons of butterscotch and 60 teaspoons of cinnamon (which still adds to
|
||
100), the total calorie count would be 40*8 + 60*3 = 500. The total score
|
||
would go down, though: only 57600000, the best you can do in such trying
|
||
circumstances.
|
||
|
||
Given the ingredients in your kitchen and their properties, what is the
|
||
total score of the highest-scoring cookie you can make with a calorie total
|
||
of 500?
|
||
|
||
Your puzzle answer was 15862900.
|
||
|
||
Both parts of this puzzle are complete! They provide two gold stars: **
|
||
|
||
At this point, you should return to your advent calendar and try another
|
||
puzzle.
