## \-\-- Part Two \-\-- {#part2}
|
||||
|
||||
The programs explain the situation: they can\'t get down. Rather, they
|
||||
*could* get down, if they weren\'t expending all of their energy trying
|
||||
to keep the tower balanced. Apparently, one program has the *wrong
|
||||
weight*, and until it\'s fixed, they\'re stuck here.
|
||||
|
||||
For any program holding a disc, each program standing on that disc forms
|
||||
a sub-tower. Each of those sub-towers are supposed to be the same
|
||||
weight, or the disc itself isn\'t balanced. The weight of a tower is the
|
||||
sum of the weights of the programs in that tower.
|
||||
|
||||
In the example above, this means that for `ugml`\'s disc to be balanced,
|
||||
`gyxo`, `ebii`, and `jptl` must all have the same weight, and they do:
|
||||
`61`.
|
||||
|
||||
However, for `tknk` to be balanced, each of the programs standing on its
|
||||
disc *and all programs above it* must each match. This means that the
|
||||
following sums must all be the same:
|
||||
|
||||
- `ugml` + (`gyxo` + `ebii` + `jptl`) = 68 + (61 + 61 + 61) = 251
|
||||
- `padx` + (`pbga` + `havc` + `qoyq`) = 45 + (66 + 66 + 66) = 243
|
||||
- `fwft` + (`ktlj` + `cntj` + `xhth`) = 72 + (57 + 57 + 57) = 243
|
||||
|
||||
As you can see, `tknk`\'s disc is unbalanced: `ugml`\'s stack is heavier
|
||||
than the other two. Even though the nodes above `ugml` are balanced,
|
||||
`ugml` itself is too heavy: it needs to be `8` units lighter for its
|
||||
stack to weigh `243` and keep the towers balanced. If this change were
|
||||
made, its weight would be `60`.
|
||||
|
||||
Given that exactly one program is the wrong weight, *what would its
|
||||
weight need to be* to balance the entire tower?
|
||||
|
||||
Your puzzle answer was `299`.

## \-\-- Day 8: I Heard You Like Registers \-\--
|
||||
|
||||
You receive a signal
|
||||
directly from the CPU. Because of your recent assistance with [jump
|
||||
instructions](5), it would like you to compute the result of a series of
|
||||
unusual register instructions.
|
||||
|
||||
Each instruction consists of several parts: the register to modify,
|
||||
whether to increase or decrease that register\'s value, the amount by
|
||||
which to increase or decrease it, and a condition. If the condition
|
||||
fails, skip the instruction without modifying the register. The
|
||||
registers all start at `0`. The instructions look like this:
|
||||
|
||||
b inc 5 if a > 1
|
||||
a inc 1 if b < 5
|
||||
c dec -10 if a >= 1
|
||||
c inc -20 if c == 10
|
||||
|
||||
These instructions would be processed as follows:
|
||||
|
||||
- Because `a` starts at `0`, it is not greater than `1`, and so `b` is
|
||||
not modified.
|
||||
- `a` is increased by `1` (to `1`) because `b` is less than `5` (it is
|
||||
`0`).
|
||||
- `c` is decreased by `-10` (to `10`) because `a` is now greater than
|
||||
or equal to `1` (it is `1`).
|
||||
- `c` is increased by `-20` (to `-10`) because `c` is equal to `10`.
|
||||
|
||||
After this process, the largest value in any register is `1`.
|
||||
|
||||
You might also encounter `<=` (less than or equal to) or `!=` (not equal
|
||||
to). However, the CPU doesn\'t have the bandwidth to tell you what all
|
||||
the registers are named, and leaves that to you to determine.
|
||||
|
||||
*What is the largest value in any register* after completing the
|
||||
instructions in your puzzle input?
|
||||
|
||||
Your puzzle answer was `4066`.
|
||||
|
||||
## \-\-- Part Two \-\-- {#part2}
|
||||
|
||||
To be safe, the CPU also needs to know *the highest value held in any
|
||||
register during this process* so that it can decide how much memory to
|
||||
allocate to these operations. For example, in the above instructions,
|
||||
the highest value ever held was `10` (in register `c` after the third
|
||||
instruction was evaluated).
|
||||
|
||||
Your puzzle answer was `4829`.
|
||||
|
||||
Both parts of this puzzle are complete! They provide two gold stars:
|
||||
\*\*
|
||||
|
||||
At this point, you should [return to your Advent calendar](/2017) and
|
||||
try another puzzle.

## \-\-- Day 9: Stream Processing \-\--
|
||||
|
||||
A large stream blocks your path. According to the locals, it\'s not safe
|
||||
to [cross the
|
||||
stream]{title="\"Don't cross the streams!\", they yell, even though there's only one. They seem to think they're hilarious."}
|
||||
at the moment because it\'s full of *garbage*. You look down at the
|
||||
stream; rather than water, you discover that it\'s a *stream of
|
||||
characters*.
|
||||
|
||||
You sit for a while and record part of the stream (your puzzle input).
|
||||
The characters represent *groups* - sequences that begin with `{` and
|
||||
end with `}`. Within a group, there are zero or more other things,
|
||||
separated by commas: either another *group* or *garbage*. Since groups
|
||||
can contain other groups, a `}` only closes the *most-recently-opened
|
||||
unclosed group* - that is, they are nestable. Your puzzle input
|
||||
represents a single, large group which itself contains many smaller
|
||||
ones.
|
||||
|
||||
Sometimes, instead of a group, you will find *garbage*. Garbage begins
|
||||
with `<` and ends with `>`. Between those angle brackets, almost any
|
||||
character can appear, including `{` and `}`. *Within* garbage, `<` has
|
||||
no special meaning.
|
||||
|
||||
In a futile attempt to clean up the garbage, some program has *canceled*
|
||||
some of the characters within it using `!`: inside garbage, *any*
|
||||
character that comes after `!` should be *ignored*, including `<`, `>`,
|
||||
and even another `!`.
|
||||
|
||||
You don\'t see any characters that deviate from these rules. Outside
|
||||
garbage, you only find well-formed groups, and garbage always terminates
|
||||
according to the rules above.
|
||||
|
||||
Here are some self-contained pieces of garbage:
|
||||
|
||||
- `<>`, empty garbage.
|
||||
- `<random characters>`, garbage containing random characters.
|
||||
- `<<<<>`, because the extra `<` are ignored.
|
||||
- `<{!>}>`, because the first `>` is canceled.
|
||||
- `<!!>`, because the second `!` is canceled, allowing the `>` to
|
||||
terminate the garbage.
|
||||
- `<!!!>>`, because the second `!` and the first `>` are canceled.
|
||||
- `<{o"i!a,<{i<a>`, which ends at the first `>`.
|
||||
|
||||
Here are some examples of whole streams and the number of groups they
|
||||
contain:
|
||||
|
||||
- `{}`, `1` group.
|
||||
- `{{{}}}`, `3` groups.
|
||||
- `{{},{}}`, also `3` groups.
|
||||
- `{{{},{},{{}}}}`, `6` groups.
|
||||
- `{<{},{},{{}}>}`, `1` group (which itself contains garbage).
|
||||
- `{<a>,<a>,<a>,<a>}`, `1` group.
|
||||
- `{{<a>},{<a>},{<a>},{<a>}}`, `5` groups.
|
||||
- `{{<!>},{<!>},{<!>},{<a>}}`, `2` groups (since all but the last `>`
|
||||
are canceled).
|
||||
|
||||
Your goal is to find the total score for all groups in your input. Each
|
||||
group is assigned a *score* which is one more than the score of the
|
||||
group that immediately contains it. (The outermost group gets a score of
|
||||
`1`.)
|
||||
|
||||
- `{}`, score of `1`.
|
||||
- `{{{}}}`, score of `1 + 2 + 3 = 6`.
|
||||
- `{{},{}}`, score of `1 + 2 + 2 = 5`.
|
||||
- `{{{},{},{{}}}}`, score of `1 + 2 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 4 = 16`.
|
||||
- `{<a>,<a>,<a>,<a>}`, score of `1`.
|
||||
- `{{<ab>},{<ab>},{<ab>},{<ab>}}`, score of `1 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 9`.
|
||||
- `{{<!!>},{<!!>},{<!!>},{<!!>}}`, score of `1 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 9`.
|
||||
- `{{<a!>},{<a!>},{<a!>},{<ab>}}`, score of `1 + 2 = 3`.
|
||||
|
||||
*What is the total score* for all groups in your input?
|
||||
|
||||
Your puzzle answer was `11898`.
|
||||
|
||||
## \-\-- Part Two \-\-- {#part2}
|
||||
|
||||
Now, you\'re ready to remove the garbage.
|
||||
|
||||
To prove you\'ve removed it, you need to count all of the characters
|
||||
within the garbage. The leading and trailing `<` and `>` don\'t count,
|
||||
nor do any canceled characters or the `!` doing the canceling.
|
||||
|
||||
- `<>`, `0` characters.
|
||||
- `<random characters>`, `17` characters.
|
||||
- `<<<<>`, `3` characters.
|
||||
- `<{!>}>`, `2` characters.
|
||||
- `<!!>`, `0` characters.
|
||||
- `<!!!>>`, `0` characters.
|
||||
- `<{o"i!a,<{i<a>`, `10` characters.
|
||||
|
||||
*How many non-canceled characters are within the garbage* in your puzzle
|
||||
input?
|
||||
|
||||
Your puzzle answer was `5601`.
|
||||
|
||||
Both parts of this puzzle are complete! They provide two gold stars:

## \-\-- Day 10: Knot Hash \-\--
|
||||
|
||||
You come across some programs that are trying to implement a software
|
||||
emulation of a hash based on knot-tying. The hash these programs are
|
||||
implementing isn\'t very strong, but you decide to help them anyway. You
|
||||
make a mental note to remind the Elves later not to [invent their own
|
||||
cryptographic functions]{title="NEW CRYPTOSYSTEM WHO DIS"}.
|
||||
|
||||
This hash function simulates tying a knot in a circle of string with 256
|
||||
marks on it. Based on the input to be hashed, the function repeatedly
|
||||
selects a span of string, brings the ends together, and gives the span a
|
||||
half-twist to reverse the order of the marks within it. After doing this
|
||||
many times, the order of the marks is used to build the resulting hash.
|
||||
|
||||
4--5 pinch 4 5 4 1
|
||||
/ \ 5,0,1 / \/ \ twist / \ / \
|
||||
3 0 --> 3 0 --> 3 X 0
|
||||
\ / \ /\ / \ / \ /
|
||||
2--1 2 1 2 5
|
||||
|
||||
To achieve this, begin with a *list* of numbers from `0` to `255`, a
|
||||
*current position* which begins at `0` (the first element in the list),
|
||||
a *skip size* (which starts at `0`), and a sequence of *lengths* (your
|
||||
puzzle input). Then, for each length:
|
||||
|
||||
- *Reverse* the order of that *length* of elements in the *list*,
|
||||
starting with the element at the *current position*.
|
||||
- *Move* the *current position* forward by that *length* plus the
|
||||
*skip size*.
|
||||
- *Increase* the *skip size* by one.
|
||||
|
||||
The *list* is circular; if the *current position* and the *length* try
|
||||
to reverse elements beyond the end of the list, the operation reverses
|
||||
using as many extra elements as it needs from the front of the list. If
|
||||
the *current position* moves past the end of the list, it wraps around
|
||||
to the front. *Lengths* larger than the size of the *list* are invalid.
|
||||
|
||||
Here\'s an example using a smaller list:
|
||||
|
||||
Suppose we instead only had a circular list containing five elements,
|
||||
`0, 1, 2, 3, 4`, and were given input lengths of `3, 4, 1, 5`.
|
||||
|
||||
- The list begins as `[0] 1 2 3 4` (where square brackets indicate the
|
||||
*current position*).
|
||||
- The first length, `3`, selects `([0] 1 2) 3 4` (where parentheses
|
||||
indicate the sublist to be reversed).
|
||||
- After reversing that section (`0 1 2` into `2 1 0`), we get
|
||||
`([2] 1 0) 3 4`.
|
||||
- Then, the *current position* moves forward by the *length*, `3`,
|
||||
plus the *skip size*, 0: `2 1 0 [3] 4`. Finally, the *skip size*
|
||||
increases to `1`.
|
||||
|
||||
```{=html}
|
||||
<!-- -->
|
||||
```
|
||||
- The second length, `4`, selects a section which wraps:
|
||||
`2 1) 0 ([3] 4`.
|
||||
- The sublist `3 4 2 1` is reversed to form `1 2 4 3`:
|
||||
`4 3) 0 ([1] 2`.
|
||||
- The *current position* moves forward by the *length* plus the *skip
|
||||
size*, a total of `5`, causing it not to move because it wraps
|
||||
around: `4 3 0 [1] 2`. The *skip size* increases to `2`.
|
||||
|
||||
```{=html}
|
||||
<!-- -->
|
||||
```
|
||||
- The third length, `1`, selects a sublist of a single element, and so
|
||||
reversing it has no effect.
|
||||
- The *current position* moves forward by the *length* (`1`) plus the
|
||||
*skip size* (`2`): `4 [3] 0 1 2`. The *skip size* increases to `3`.
|
||||
|
||||
```{=html}
|
||||
<!-- -->
|
||||
```
|
||||
- The fourth length, `5`, selects every element starting with the
|
||||
second: `4) ([3] 0 1 2`. Reversing this sublist (`3 0 1 2 4` into
|
||||
`4 2 1 0 3`) produces: `3) ([4] 2 1 0`.
|
||||
- Finally, the *current position* moves forward by `8`: `3 4 2 1 [0]`.
|
||||
The *skip size* increases to `4`.
|
||||
|
||||
In this example, the first two numbers in the list end up being `3` and
|
||||
`4`; to check the process, you can multiply them together to produce
|
||||
`12`.
|
||||
|
||||
However, you should instead use the standard list size of `256` (with
|
||||
values `0` to `255`) and the sequence of *lengths* in your puzzle input.
|
||||
Once this process is complete, *what is the result of multiplying the
|
||||
first two numbers in the list*?
|
||||
|
||||
Your puzzle answer was `19591`.
|
||||
|
||||
The first half of this puzzle is complete! It provides one gold star: \*
|
||||
|
||||
## \-\-- Part Two \-\-- {#part2}
|
||||
|
||||
The logic you\'ve constructed forms a single *round* of the *Knot Hash*
|
||||
algorithm; running the full thing requires many of these rounds. Some
|
||||
input and output processing is also required.
|
||||
|
||||
First, from now on, your input should be taken not as a list of numbers,
|
||||
but as a string of bytes instead. Unless otherwise specified, convert
|
||||
characters to bytes using their [ASCII
|
||||
codes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASCII#Printable_characters). This
|
||||
will allow you to handle arbitrary ASCII strings, and it also ensures
|
||||
that your input lengths are never larger than `255`. For example, if you
|
||||
are given `1,2,3`, you should convert it to the ASCII codes for each
|
||||
character: `49,44,50,44,51`.
|
||||
|
||||
Once you have determined the sequence of lengths to use, add the
|
||||
following lengths to the end of the sequence: `17, 31, 73, 47, 23`. For
|
||||
example, if you are given `1,2,3`, your final sequence of lengths should
|
||||
be `49,44,50,44,51,17,31,73,47,23` (the ASCII codes from the input
|
||||
string combined with the standard length suffix values).
|
||||
|
||||
Second, instead of merely running one *round* like you did above, run a
|
||||
total of `64` rounds, using the same *length* sequence in each round.
|
||||
The *current position* and *skip size* should be preserved between
|
||||
rounds. For example, if the previous example was your first round, you
|
||||
would start your second round with the same *length* sequence
|
||||
(`3, 4, 1, 5, 17, 31, 73, 47, 23`, now assuming they came from ASCII
|
||||
codes and include the suffix), but start with the previous round\'s
|
||||
*current position* (`4`) and *skip size* (`4`).
|
||||
|
||||
Once the rounds are complete, you will be left with the numbers from `0`
|
||||
to `255` in some order, called the *sparse hash*. Your next task is to
|
||||
reduce these to a list of only `16` numbers called the *dense hash*. To
|
||||
do this, use numeric bitwise
|
||||
[XOR](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitwise_operation#XOR) to combine
|
||||
each consecutive block of `16` numbers in the sparse hash (there are
|
||||
`16` such blocks in a list of `256` numbers). So, the first element in
|
||||
the dense hash is the first sixteen elements of the sparse hash XOR\'d
|
||||
together, the second element in the dense hash is the second sixteen
|
||||
elements of the sparse hash XOR\'d together, etc.
|
||||
|
||||
For example, if the first sixteen elements of your sparse hash are as
|
||||
shown below, and the XOR operator is `^`, you would calculate the first
|
||||
output number like this:
|
||||
|
||||
65 ^ 27 ^ 9 ^ 1 ^ 4 ^ 3 ^ 40 ^ 50 ^ 91 ^ 7 ^ 6 ^ 0 ^ 2 ^ 5 ^ 68 ^ 22 = 64
|
||||
|
||||
Perform this operation on each of the sixteen blocks of sixteen numbers
|
||||
in your sparse hash to determine the sixteen numbers in your dense hash.
|
||||
|
||||
Finally, the standard way to represent a Knot Hash is as a single
|
||||
[hexadecimal](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexadecimal) string; the
|
||||
final output is the dense hash in hexadecimal notation. Because each
|
||||
number in your dense hash will be between `0` and `255` (inclusive),
|
||||
always represent each number as two hexadecimal digits (including a
|
||||
leading zero as necessary). So, if your first three numbers are
|
||||
`64, 7, 255`, they correspond to the hexadecimal numbers `40, 07, ff`,
|
||||
and so the first six characters of the hash would be `4007ff`. Because
|
||||
every Knot Hash is sixteen such numbers, the hexadecimal representation
|
||||
is always `32` hexadecimal digits (`0`-`f`) long.
|
||||
|
||||
Here are some example hashes:
|
||||
|
||||
- The empty string becomes `a2582a3a0e66e6e86e3812dcb672a272`.
|
||||
- `AoC 2017` becomes `33efeb34ea91902bb2f59c9920caa6cd`.
|
||||
- `1,2,3` becomes `3efbe78a8d82f29979031a4aa0b16a9d`.
|
||||
- `1,2,4` becomes `63960835bcdc130f0b66d7ff4f6a5a8e`.
|
||||
|
||||
Treating your puzzle input as a string of ASCII characters, *what is the
|
||||
Knot Hash of your puzzle input?* Ignore any leading or trailing
|
||||
whitespace you might encounter.
