/g/ has a tradition of making ‘big boy’ inputs, much bigger data inputs for the various challenges, as a sort of voluntary filter that splits the O(N^Compsci graduate) from the real hackers who can google quicksort, and the occasional madman who considers letting O(N^3) code run for 5 hours an acceptable workflow.
These inputs will test your implemention to its limit. Either that, or your patience and the gaming laptop mom bought you.
Some of these inputs have different rules from the default AOC inputs; these ones have the extra rules quoted. Some of the inputs also have the ‘answer’ hidden in a details tag beneath them, so you can check your result without spoiling yourself.
