\section{Day 25: Let It Snow} | ||
\marginnote{\url{https://adventofcode.com/2015/day/25}} | ||
|
||
Merry Christmas! Santa is booting up his weather machine; looks like you might | ||
get a \href{https://adventofcode.com/2015/day/1}{white Christmas} after all. | ||
|
||
The weather machine beeps! On the console of the machine is a copy protection | ||
message asking you to | ||
\href{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copy_protection\#Early_video_games}{enter a | ||
code from the instruction manual}. Apparently, it refuses to run unless you | ||
give it that code. No problem; you'll just look up the code in the-- | ||
|
||
``Ho ho ho'', Santa ponders aloud. ``I can't seem to find the manual.'' | ||
|
||
You look up the support number for the manufacturer and give them a call. Good | ||
thing, too - that 49th star wasn't going to earn itself. | ||
|
||
``Oh, that machine is quite old!'', they tell you. ``That model went out of | ||
support six minutes ago, and we just finished shredding all of the manuals. I | ||
bet we can find you the code generation algorithm, though.'' | ||
|
||
After putting you on hold for twenty minutes (your call is \textbf{very} | ||
important to them, it reminded you repeatedly), they finally find an engineer | ||
that remembers how the code system works. | ||
|
||
The codes are printed on an infinite sheet of paper\marginnote{The paper is very | ||
thin so it can be folded up neatly into the manual.}, starting in the top-left | ||
corner. The codes are filled in by diagonals: starting with the first row with | ||
an empty first box, the codes are filled in diagonally up and to the right. This | ||
process repeats until the | ||
\href{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cantor's_diagonal_argument}{infinite paper | ||
is covered}. So, the first few codes are filled in in this order: | ||
|
||
\begin{table}[h] | ||
\centering | ||
\begin{tabular}{r|rrrrrr} | ||
& 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 & 6 \\ | ||
\midrule | ||
1 & 1 & 3 & 6 & 10 & 15 & 21 \\ | ||
2 & 2 & 5 & 9 & 14 & 20 \\ | ||
3 & 4 & 8 & 13 & 19 \\ | ||
4 & 7 & 12 & 18 \\ | ||
5 & 11 & 17 \\ | ||
6 & 16 | ||
\end{tabular} | ||
\end{table} | ||
|
||
For example, the 12th code would be written to row \hs{4}, column \hs{2}; the | ||
15th code would be written to row \hs{1}, column \hs{5}. | ||
|
||
The voice on the other end of the phone continues with how the codes are | ||
actually generated. The first code is \hs{20151125}. After that, each code is | ||
generated by taking the previous one, multiplying it by \hs{252533}, and then | ||
keeping the remainder from dividing that value by \hs{33554393}. | ||
|
||
So, to find the second code (which ends up in row \hs{2}, column \hs{1}), start | ||
with the previous value, \hs{20151125}. Multiply it by \hs{252533} to get | ||
\hs{5088824049625}. Then, divide that by \hs{33554393}, which leaves a remainder | ||
of \hs{31916031}. That remainder is the second code. | ||
|
||
``Oh!'', says the voice. ``It looks like we missed a scrap from one of the | ||
manuals. Let me read it to you.'' You write down his numbers: | ||
|
||
\begin{table}[h] | ||

\end{tabular} | ||
\end{table} | ||
|
||
\newpage | ||
|
||
``Now remember'', the voice continues, ``that's not even all of the first few | ||
numbers; for example, you're missing the one at 7,1 that would come before | ||
6,2. But, it should be enough to let your-- oh, it's time for lunch! Bye!'' The | ||
call disconnects. | ||
|
||
Santa looks nervous. Your puzzle input contains the message on the machine's | ||
console. \textbf{What code do you give the machine?} | ||
|
||
\newthought{Part Two} | ||
|
||
The machine springs to life, then falls silent again. It beeps. ``Insufficient | ||
fuel'', the console reads. ``\textbf{Fifty stars} are required before | ||
proceeding. \textbf{One star} is available.'' | ||
|
||
...``one star is available''? You check the fuel tank; sure enough, a lone star | ||
sits at the bottom, awaiting its friends. Looks like you need to provide 49 | ||
yourself. |

\subsection{Haskell solution} | ||
|
||
Rather than try to generate the codes sequentially, which can quickly result in | ||
a stack overflow, make some observations. | ||
|
||
\newthought{The positions in first column} are the | ||
\hrefootnote{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lazy_caterer's_sequence}{lazy | ||
caterer's sequence}, i.e. \hrefootnote{https://oeis.org/A000124}{A000124 in | ||
The Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences}. | ||
|
||
\begin{equation} | ||
a(n) = n \times (n - 1) / 2 + 1 | ||
\end{equation} | ||
|
||
Or equivalently in Haskell: | ||
|
||
<<Define a000124>>= | ||
a000124 :: (Integral a) => a -> a | ||
a000124 n = n * (n - 1) `div` 2 + 1 | ||
@ %def a000124 | ||
|
||
Since this problem might involve some rather large numbers, specialize the | ||
polymorphic [[a000124]] to Haskell's arbitrary precision \hs{Integer}, and | ||
ensure the compiler inlines it. | ||
|
||
<<Define a000124>>= | ||
{-# SPECIALIZE INLINE a000124 :: Integer -> Integer #-} | ||
@ | ||
|
||
\newthought{Then to calculate the distance} from that position to that of | ||
another column $c$ in the same row $r$, simply subtract the $r$th | ||
\hrefootnote{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triangular_number}{triangular number} | ||
from the $(c + r - 1)$th. The triangular numbers are known as | ||
\hrefootnote{https://oeis.org/A000217}{A000217 in The Online Encyclopedia of | ||
Integer Sequences}. | ||
|
||
\begin{equation} | ||
T(n) = n \times (n + 1) / 2 | ||
\end{equation} | ||
|
||
Or equivalently in Haskell: | ||
|
||
<<Define a000217>>= | ||
a000217 :: (Integral a) => a -> a | ||
a000217 n = n * (n + 1) `div` 2 | ||
@ %def a000217 | ||
|
||
Just as before, specialize to \hs{Integer} and inline. | ||
|
||
<<Define a000217>>= | ||
{-# SPECIALIZE INLINE a000217 :: Integer -> Integer #-} | ||
@ | ||
|
||
So, to find the position in the sequence of codes from a given column and row: | ||
|
||
<<Find the position>>= | ||
position = a000124 row + a000217 (column + row - 1) - a000217 row | ||
@ | ||
|
||
\newthought{The generating function} for the sequence is as follows, where $n | ||
\in \mathbb{N}$ is the position. | ||
|
||
\begin{equation} | ||
f(n) = | ||
\begin{cases} | ||
20151125, & \text{for } n=0 \\ | ||
f(n - 1) \times 252533 \pmod{33554393}, & \text{otherwise} | ||
\end{cases} | ||
\end{equation} | ||
|
||
That recursive definition can be rewritten as a closed formula. | ||
|
||
\begin{equation} | ||
f(n) = 20151125 \times 252533^{n-1} \pmod{33554393} | ||
\end{equation} | ||
|
||
Or equivalently in Haskell: | ||
|
||
<<Find the code at a given position>>= | ||
20151125 * (252533 ^ (position - 1)) `mod` 33554393 | ||
@ | ||
|
||
Thus, Part One can be solved by implementing a function that takes a coordinate | ||
pair and returns the specified code. | ||
|
||
<<Define partOne>>= | ||
partOne :: Coordinates -> Integer | ||
partOne (column, row) = <<Find the code at a given position>> | ||
where | ||
<<Find the position>> | ||
@ %def partOne | ||
|
||
There is nothing to solve for Part Two. | ||
|
||
\newthought{To parse the input}, write a silly, overly explicit \hs{Parser}. | ||
|
||
<<Import tools for parsing the input>>= | ||
import Control.Monad (void) | ||
import Text.Trifecta (Parser, comma, natural, symbol) | ||

row <- symbol "Enter the code at row" *> natural <* comma | ||
column <- symbol "column" *> natural | ||
pure (column, row) | ||

[[Coordinates]] is just a two-tuple of \hs{Integer}s. | ||
