This was fun after such a long day solving yesterday! Like many, solved part 2 accidentally on the way to solving part 1.

Not ashamed to say I copy and pasted my process instead of building the macro to bag my stars. Then went back and made it a macro :D

Day 10 done! Incredibly refreshing start to the day!

Spoiler

Going from part 1 > part 2 was simply removing the Unique tool from my macro in order to get all distinct routes.

I struggled with Part 1 at first, but my wrong answer for Part 1 turned out to be the answer for Part 2. LoL

Day10. More in spoiler

Spoiler

Fortunately, this was as straightforward as it gets. 

P1 Spent a lot of time setting up each step and building a path in case I needed it. I created one input for the base map grid and the other to group by various starting points (bottom feed)
P2 Needed to use path created in step 1 to get unique counts

I really wanted to use the Make Group tool, but it doesn't have a batching mechanism :(

Only reason this one took me as long as it did was because I was punching in the answer to part 2 for part 1 before going back and reading the question more carefully 😂

SAME!!!!

I was surprised to find I'd solved part 2 before part 1!

Surprisingly easy part 2, actually got it before part 1, nice for a change (yes, still trying to get day 6 part 2 start...)
