In F# its the method FuelInOre see: https://github.com/messcheg/advent-of-code/blob/main/AdventOfCode2019/Day14/Program.fs

After 1 hour and 35 minutes, I had a working C# program that uses a sort probabilistic hillclimbing algorithm to solve the problem in 170 miliseconds.

I also made functions to calculate with snafu-rules. I even didn't translate '=' and '-' to -2 and -1. I used C# to do that.

I have looked at other people's codes and still can't figure it out, eg https://github.com/messcheg/advent-of-code/blob/main/AdventOfCode2022/Day16/Program.cs which is very similar to mine (I think).

My code is in https://github.com/messcheg/advent-of-code/tree/main/AdventOfCode2022/Day17.

Made my solution in C# (https://github.com/messcheg/advent-of-code/tree/main/AdventOfCode2022/Day16) Took me a lot of time to make solution for part I (due to the fact that it's early in the morning here and I need to finish before the other life in my house starts..). But I spent only half-an-hour, to get the answer for part II. (Rank 3675 after part I, rank 1797 after part II).

I had a slightly different approach (in C#). Instead of copying the values, I just changed the index of the first group. I actually don't what would be faster: copying 9 values or performing two modulo operations. See https://github.com/messcheg/advent-of-code/tree/main/AdventOfCode2021/Day6

I also did this, my repo is here. My requirements were that the language has to be actively used for real world development and contributed to (so no toy/experimental languages and no relicts of the past like Fortran, COBOL and Pascal), and be a general-purpose language with a decent standard library for common algorithms (so no assembly, SQL, HTML). I will make a separate post when I clean up the repo a bit more, but for now I'm happy to say I completed the challenge. Maybe day 21 was a bit cheaty, cause initially I wanted to learn Racket and use the advanced parsing capabilities for that day, but with time constraints I settled for (technically) using Prolog (see the day 21 readme for explanation of solution).
