--- Day 1: Historian Hysteria ---
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The Chief Historian is always present for the big Christmas sleigh launch, but nobody has seen him in months! Last
|
||||||
|
anyone heard, he was visiting locations that are historically significant to the North Pole; a group of Senior
|
||||||
|
Historians has asked you to accompany them as they check the places they think he was most likely to visit.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
As each location is checked, they will mark it on their list with a star. They figure the Chief Historian must be in
|
||||||
|
one of the first fifty places they'll look, so in order to save Christmas, you need to help them get fifty stars on
|
||||||
|
their list before Santa takes off on December 25th.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Collect stars by solving puzzles. Two puzzles will be made available on each day in the Advent calendar; the second
|
||||||
|
puzzle is unlocked when you complete the first. Each puzzle grants one star. Good luck!
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You haven't even left yet and the group of Elvish Senior Historians has already hit a problem: their list of locations
|
||||||
|
to check is currently empty. Eventually, someone decides that the best place to check first would be the Chief
|
||||||
|
Historian's office.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Upon pouring into the office, everyone confirms that the Chief Historian is indeed nowhere to be found. Instead,
|
||||||
|
the Elves discover an assortment of notes and lists of historically significant locations! This seems to be the
|
||||||
|
planning the Chief Historian was doing before he left. Perhaps these notes can be used to determine which locations
|
||||||
|
to search?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Throughout the Chief's office, the historically significant locations are listed not by name but by a unique number
|
||||||
|
called the location ID. To make sure they don't miss anything, The Historians split into two groups, each searching
|
||||||
|
the office and trying to create their own complete list of location IDs.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
There's just one problem: by holding the two lists up side by side (your puzzle input), it quickly becomes clear
|
||||||
|
that the lists aren't very similar. Maybe you can help The Historians reconcile their lists?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
For example:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
3 4
|
||||||
|
4 3
|
||||||
|
2 5
|
||||||
|
1 3
|
||||||
|
3 9
|
||||||
|
3 3
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Maybe the lists are only off by a small amount! To find out, pair up the numbers and measure how far apart they are.
|
||||||
|
Pair up the smallest number in the left list with the smallest number in the right list, then the second-smallest left
|
||||||
|
number with the second-smallest right number, and so on.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Within each pair, figure out how far apart the two numbers are; you'll need to add up all of those distances.
|
||||||
|
For example, if you pair up a 3 from the left list with a 7 from the right list, the distance apart is 4; if you pair
|
||||||
|
up a 9 with a 3, the distance apart is 6.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
In the example list above, the pairs and distances would be as follows:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The smallest number in the left list is 1, and the smallest number in the right list is 3. The distance between them is 2.
|
||||||
|
The second-smallest number in the left list is 2, and the second-smallest number in the right list is another 3. The distance between them is 1.
|
||||||
|
The third-smallest number in both lists is 3, so the distance between them is 0.
|
||||||
|
The next numbers to pair up are 3 and 4, a distance of 1.
|
||||||
|
The fifth-smallest numbers in each list are 3 and 5, a distance of 2.
|
||||||
|
Finally, the largest number in the left list is 4, while the largest number in the right list is 9; these are a distance 5 apart.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To find the total distance between the left list and the right list, add up the distances between all the pairs
|
||||||
|
you found. In the example above, this is 2 + 1 + 0 + 1 + 2 + 5, a total distance of 11!
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Your actual left and right lists contain many location IDs. What is the total distance between your lists?
