Discussion thread for day 14 of the Advent of Code : https://adventofcode.com/2020/day/14
Feel like I over complicated part 2 but it works...
Lots more binary
Here's me, a nice step down from yesterday's part 2 😅
Has anyone got a good way of doing "find nth" in a formula. I think part 2 could be simplified if there's an easy string manipulation way of doing "find nth" to search through Xs.
Not aiming for any golf points today...
the first part builds the regex for the replacements.Part II - went iterative as I couldn't figure out how to replace all the potential 'X's.

Day14!
There are a lot of tools, but it's working well.
I have still yesterday's homework...(I don't clear the Day13 Part 2 by only Alteryx)
I struggled through part 2, but eventually got there. I think I can chalk it up to not reading the prompt thoroughly.
Parts 1 and 2.

Here is my part one, so many tools so keen to look at @danilang's part one with much fewer tools.
Struggling to find the time to keep up to date on AoC but will continue to push for the second stars.
Easy one today - although a lot of busy work. Didn't try for tool golf at all, runs in <1s so didn't seem worth working on any more.
And that time nominated for the "most overcomplicated solution" ...
