My solution.

I was almost zombie yesterday. But today is very easy. I think today is easier than any previous days.

Today's one is much easier than yesterday.

My solution 

Spoiler

Looks like I'm the only person to create all combinations of button presses and race durations 🙄 Because I did that the run time for part 2 was 2m20s but ok from a brute force perspective and could have borrowed from day 5 of testing a smaller range but that didn't feel necessary.
I was slowed down on getting to the solve on part one as I expected the vehicle to accelerate instead of travel at a constant speed, so started to work out the formula when I then realised it was just button duration * remaining time.

Another way to solve it in algebra way

Done.

I was freaking out by Day 5 Part 2, still can not figure it out

So I took the most possible complicated way for Part 1 today by building Macro inside macro and forward and backward apparoach, preparing the impact Part 2. but....the part 2 of today is just cute. 😁
