As every location is checked, they are going to mark it on their listing with a star. They determine the Chief Historian have to be in one of many first fifty locations they will look, so as a way to save Christmas, you’ll want to assist them get fifty stars on their listing earlier than Santa takes off on December twenty fifth.
Acquire stars by fixing puzzles. Two puzzles can be made accessible on every day within the Introduction calendar; the second puzzle is unlocked while you full the primary. Every puzzle grants one star. Good luck!
You have not even left but and the group of Elvish Senior Historians has already hit an issue: their listing of areas to test is at present empty. Finally, somebody decides that the perfect place to test first can be the Chief Historian’s workplace.
Upon pouring into the workplace, everybody confirms that the Chief Historian is certainly nowhere to be discovered. As an alternative, the Elves uncover an assortment of notes and lists of traditionally vital areas! This appears to be the planning the Chief Historian was doing earlier than he left. Maybe these notes can be utilized to find out which areas to look?
All through the Chief’s workplace, the traditionally vital areas are listed not by title however by a singular quantity referred to as the situation ID. To verify they do not miss something, The Historians break up into two teams, every looking the workplace and attempting to create their very own full listing of location IDs.
There’s only one drawback: by holding the 2 lists up aspect by aspect (your puzzle enter), it shortly turns into clear that the lists aren’t very comparable. Possibly you possibly can assist The Historians reconcile their lists?
For instance:
3 4
4 3
2 5
1 3
3 9
3 3
Possibly the lists are solely off by a small quantity! To seek out out, pair up the numbers and measure how far aside they’re. Pair up the smallest quantity within the left listing with the smallest quantity in the correct listing, then the second-smallest left quantity with the second-smallest proper quantity, and so forth.
Inside every pair, determine how far aside the 2 numbers are; you may want so as to add up all of these distances. For instance, if you happen to pair up a 3 from the left listing with a 7 from the correct listing, the space aside is 4; if you happen to pair up a 9 with a 3, the space aside is 6.
Within the instance listing above, the pairs and distances can be as follows:
The smallest quantity within the left listing is 1, and the smallest quantity in the correct listing is 3. The gap between them is 2.
The second-smallest quantity within the left listing is 2, and the second-smallest quantity in the correct listing is one other 3. The gap between them is 1.
The third-smallest quantity in each lists is 3, so the space between them is 0.
The subsequent numbers to pair up are 3 and 4, a distance of 1.
The fifth-smallest numbers in every listing are 3 and 5, a distance of two.
Lastly, the biggest quantity within the left listing is 4, whereas the biggest quantity in the correct listing is 9; these are a distance 5 aside.
To seek out the whole distance between the left listing and the correct listing, add up the distances between the entire pairs you discovered. Within the instance above, that is 2 + 1 + 0 + 1 + 2 + 5, a complete distance of 11!
Your precise left and proper lists include many location IDs. What’s the complete distance between your lists?
