Some countries start on a Friday or Saturday and until 2022 Iran could start any day of the week although never at 3AM.

The keyboard doesn't fit in my screen, making it really hard to type a p.

I think displaying black or white pixels makes a bigger difference.

Your odds add up to more than 1.

I solved it in less than 15 minutes while walking my dog, no pen or paper. But I wouldn't claim to be a random person without math skills. And my very first guess was correct.

It was a fun puzzle though and I'm surprised I didn't know it already. Thanks for sharing.

Why do you need to merge counts if you look for unique elements? Isn't the count always 1 for each element present? Isn't the key to shard your chunks so each element can appear in at most one chunk?

Code search not just across the entire code base but across all of time.

Puzzle 00576224 is ambiguous because the example input is symmetrical but the test input isn't.

Why spoil the punch line in the title?

I just want endpoints in many countries, high enough speed, and cheap.

Obviously extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. I just posted hoping that more knowledgeable people than me can comment.

Nice game!
