Day 5: If You Give a Seed a Fertilizer


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)

    Indeed, my solution fails on this input (returns 10, which is the location to seed 0), but it can be easily solved by also adding the ends of each range as well.

    Maybe the input was quite forgiving. Thinking about it more, reversing the mapping can get quite involved, because it is neither surjective nor injective, so the inverse can actually have any number of results.

    In your example there is no input that maps to 0, but there are two inputs that map to 11 (1 and 11). If the seed-to-soil map also included 10 20 2, 21 would also map to 11.
