I have nothing. I hate Diophantine equations. That is all I have to say today.

(edit) I came back to it after a 24 hour break. All that nonsense about scoring multiple results really took me in yesterday.

I think this puzzle is a bit of a missed opportunity. They could have provided inputs with no solution or with a line of solutions, so that the cost optimization becomes meaningful. As it is, you just have to carry out Cramer’s rule in extended precision rational arithmetic.

Python

I just threw linear algebra and float64 on this question and it stuck. Initially in order to decrease the numbers a bit (to save precision) I tried to find greatest common divisors for the coordinates of the target but in many cases it was 1, so that was that went down the drain. Luckily float64 was able to achieve precisions up to 1e-4 and that was enough to separate wheat from chaff. So in the end I did not have to use exact formulas for the inverse of the matrix though probably would be a more satisfying solution if I did.

“The cheapest way” “the fewest tokens”, that evil chap!

I’m on a weekend trip and thought to do the puzzle in the 3h train ride but I got silly stumped on 2D line intersection*, was too stubborn to look it up, and fell asleep 🤡

When I woke up, so did the little nugget of elementary algebra somewhere far in the back of my mind. Tonight I finally got to implementing, which was smooth sailing except for this lesson I learnt:

int64 friends don’t let int64 friends play with float32s.

*) on two parts:

1. how can you capture a two-dimensional problem in a linear equation (ans: use slopes), and
2. what unknown was I supposed to be finding? (ans: either x or y of intersection will do)

#include "common.h"

static int64_t
score(int ax, int ay, int bx, int by, int64_t px, int64_t py)
{
	int64_t a,b, x;
	double as,bs;

	as = (double)ay / ax;
	bs = (double)by / bx;

	/* intersection between a (from start) and b (from end) */
	x = (int64_t)round((px*bs - py) / (bs-as));

	a = x / ax;
	b = (px-x) / bx;

	return
	    a*ax + b*bx == px &&
	    a*ay + b*by == py ? a*3 + b : 0;
}

int
main(int argc, char **argv)
{
	int ax,ay, bx,by;
	int64_t p1=0,p2=0, px,py;

	if (argc > 1)
		DISCARD(freopen(argv[1], "r", stdin));
	
	while (scanf(
	    " Button A: X+%d, Y+%d"
	    " Button B: X+%d, Y+%d"
	    " Prize: X=%"SCNd64", Y=%"SCNd64,
	    &ax, &ay, &bx, &by, &px, &py) == 6) {
		p1 += score(ax,ay, bx,by, px,py);
		p2 += score(ax,ay, bx,by,
		    px + 10000000000000LL,
		    py + 10000000000000LL);
	}

	printf("13: %"PRId64" %"PRId64"\n", p1, p2);
	return 0;
}

Rust

Hardest part was parsing the input, i somehow forgot how regexes work and wasted hours.

Learning how to do matrix stuff in rust was a nice detour as well.
