Day 10: Pipe Maze

Megathread guidelines

  • Keep top level comments as only solutions, if you want to say something other than a solution put it in a new post. (replies to comments can be whatever)
  • Code block support is not fully rolled out yet but likely will be in the middle of the event. Try to share solutions as both code blocks and using something such as https://topaz.github.io/paste/ , pastebin, or github (code blocks to future proof it for when 0.19 comes out and since code blocks currently function in some apps and some instances as well if they are running a 0.19 beta)

    I always felt I was one fix away from the solution, which was both nice and bad.

    Walking the path was fine, and part 2 looked easy until I missed the squeezed pipes. I for some silly reason thought I only had to expand the grid by x2 instead of x3 and had to re-do that. Fill is hyper bad but works for <1 minute.
