Hm. My totals are still off by a little. There's a lot to assume here -- the time spent on each card, the direction of movement (uni- or bilateral?), whether repeated cards include movement between . . . I feel like I got pretty close, though!

Not sure about the assumptions needed to get the exact right answer - I'm off by 16 seconds as is...

Great challenge.  

 

My assumptions:

  1. One second pause on each card
  2. Can rotate either way, so takes shortest path
  3. If same card required consecutively, then rotate halfway to the next card and back again (ie time added is for one step)
  4. Finish on the full stop (rather than last letter).

Solution attached... made the assumptions that the camera would always turn the shortest distance to the next card (never more than 180 degrees), but would do a full 360 degree turn when the same character was required twice in a row.

The concept of hexidecimals was approximately 196 million miles over my head but it's important to learn something new everyday!

Here is my solution!

 

Assumptions:

1. Camera moves left/right to shortest path to next card
2. If card is duplicate, return to 1 and then back to card
3. Camera stops on each card for 1 second
