## \-\-- Day 15: Science for Hungry People \-\-- Today, you set out on the task of perfecting your milk-dunking cookie recipe. All you have to do is find the right balance of ingredients. Your recipe leaves room for exactly `100` teaspoons of ingredients. You make a list of the *remaining ingredients you could use to finish the recipe* (your puzzle input) and their *properties per teaspoon*: - `capacity` (how well it helps the cookie absorb milk) - `durability` (how well it keeps the cookie intact when full of milk) - `flavor` (how tasty it makes the cookie) - `texture` (how it improves the feel of the cookie) - `calories` (how many calories it adds to the cookie) You can only measure ingredients in whole-teaspoon amounts accurately, and you have to be accurate so you can reproduce your results in the future. The *total score* of a cookie can be found by adding up each of the properties (negative totals become `0`) and then multiplying together everything except calories. For instance, suppose you have [these two ingredients]{title="* I know what your preference is, but..."}: Butterscotch: capacity -1, durability -2, flavor 6, texture 3, calories 8 Cinnamon: capacity 2, durability 3, flavor -2, texture -1, calories 3 Then, choosing to use `44` teaspoons of butterscotch and `56` teaspoons of cinnamon (because the amounts of each ingredient must add up to `100`) would result in a cookie with the following properties: - A `capacity` of `44*-1 + 56*2 = 68` - A `durability` of `44*-2 + 56*3 = 80` - A `flavor` of `44*6 + 56*-2 = 152` - A `texture` of `44*3 + 56*-1 = 76` Multiplying these together (`68 * 80 * 152 * 76`, ignoring `calories` for now) results in a total score of `62842880`, which happens to be the best score possible given these ingredients. If any properties had produced a negative total, it would have instead become zero, causing the whole score to multiply to zero. Given the ingredients in your kitchen and their properties, what is the *total score* of the highest-scoring cookie you can make? To begin, [get your puzzle input](15/input). Answer:
