It couldn't happen to a more deserving dickhead. The so-called Aussie Cossack now whining that the Russians are being mean to him.

Russian generals say all goals of the war will be achieved.
Russian economists say despite the pressure the economy will outlast Ukraine’s.
Even Russian fan-boy Donald Trump says that Russia is much stronger and Kyiv has no cards left to play in the war.
Hearing only reassurance,
it is little wonder that President Vladimir Putin sees no reason for real concessions on Ukraine.
From the vantage point of the Kremlin, the war is going according to plan.

This took just a smidge longer than the Rust solve, but still not too horrible coming in at around 1.5 to 2 seconds. Getting all of the potential coordinate combinations along with their distances sorted made everything so much easier.

This one was disturbingly easy for Part 1, then got more fun on Part 2. The name of the game is rotations, and rotating the input was the key to getting it done without too much bother.

I'm so glad I'm writing the solutions in both #nim and Python because I tend to find ways to improve the Python solution with the Nim one and vice versa. Today was one of those days. The biggest thing I learned though is that solving these damned puzzles exhausted will never lead to good things quality-wise.

Changed the code structure slightly from the Python solve, added the `itertools` package because I wanted `product`. Works perfectly and I'd argue slightly more readable than the Python version. Overall pretty satisfied with the solution.

I was worried that this would be pathfinding. Thankfully it was not pathfinding. Was definitely a fun problem, and I used more than a couple of comprehensions to get this done.
