I solved with geo as well. Brute force to all possible rectangles from the polygon points. Tried to run it but after 30 seckilled it and just imported rayon. It's under 3 sec. There is no shame using libraries, it's part of the puzzle to know whics one is useful 😄

Joined as well, thanks for creating it! Unfortunately I only have time 5-6 hours before the next day's puzzle, so I am here only to collect 🌞s.

I'll check if someone created a guide for the clever solution, cos I'm interested. But I don't have nearly enough knowledge about geometry to came up with one myshelf. (nor energy after the 10 hour workdays in the last two weeks..)

It was ~~easy~~ staight forward brtue force:

For each possible_rectange Find Max:
   If polygon.contains(rectangle) Then rectangle.area() Else 0

No

Wow, I did not expect to find a fellow Ted Chiang enjoyer. The Merchant and the Alchemist's Gate is one of my favorite.

Good bot!

I don't think it is counts as D sucking of big corp if someone corrects invalid information. There are plenty of bad things corps do, we don't have to fabricate false claims, it's dangerous.

My approach:

• try and error: Just experiment with things, change one single thing and observ what difference it makes (Eg.: season half batch before, half batch after)
• Research on the internet, I mean there are tons of blogs/forums where ppl sharing their experience, just be mindfull, and take everything with a grain of salt (hah!) (Eg.: One anon in reddit collected brownie recips and methodically tested and documneted each approach and what difference it makes, so technically his/her/they recipe is not a single one, but a collection family of recipts where you can choose your desired results)
• Educational-Cooking channels, there are plenty of cooking channels which are showing the underlining science and connections, just to name a few: MinuteFood@yt, aragusea@yt or if you want hardcore data: Talon_Fitness@yt

Nice collecion you have there! Just got my hand on a large cardbox worth of jars. Almost all of them have caps as well. My plan is to slowly clean and fill them up, just like you did! Also I recently found out (by a foodwaste prevention program) that I have plastic-free shop not too far away from me.

Jeee EOS gang!
