Full program on GitHub.

Full program including code to deal with heaps, on GitHub.

Program I used for the above results

See my solution on GitHub.

Note also that you can solve this without a complexity dependency on n. Most solutions I have seen, including mine run in time O(tD), where t is the maximum value of a timer, and D the number of generation, requiring O(t) memory. (This is assuming we can do the required arithmetic operations in constant time, and each numbers require a fixed around of memory storage; if the number of fish gets huge, throw in an additional log n in the complexities, where n is the number of fish on the final day).

Based on my matrix exponentiation solution, here is a closed-form solution:

In my Perl solution of today (I assume, you mean 2021, Day 4), I read stuff in paragraph mode ($/ = "") which makes Perl split input on 2 or more newlines.

I considered doing that for my (Perl) solution, but given the cards are small, that seemed overkill.

Python implementation on GitHub

Rust GitHub. My approach is to go through all cuboids and always remove their intersection with all previously added cuboids. Then, If it is a "on" cuboid it is added to the list of cuboids. This way no cuboids will overlap and I can sum all their volumes in the end.

Rust GitHub. Kinda ugly brute force solution which runs in ~10 sec.

Rust GitHub. This took me much longer that I care to admit. I started with a tree-based solution, tried a list, went back to tree and the back to the list again...

GitHub.

Rust GitHub. This took a very long time to solve, and the code is not very nice looking.
