Day 11: Plutonian Pebbles

Megathread guidelines

  • Keep top level comments as only solutions, if you want to say something other than a solution put it in a new post. (replies to comments can be whatever)
  • You can send code in code blocks by using three backticks, the code, and then three backticks or use something such as https://topaz.github.io/paste/ if you prefer sending it through a URL

Kotlin

Gone mathematical.

Also overflowing indices screwed with me a bit.

Here's the code:
import kotlin.math.floor
import kotlin.math.log
import kotlin.math.pow
import kotlin.time.DurationUnit

fun main() {
    fun part1(input: List<String>): Long = Day11Solver(input).solve(25)

    fun part2(input: List<String>): Long = Day11Solver(input).solve(75)

    val testInput = readInput("Day11_test")
    check(part1(testInput) == 55312L)
    //check(part2(testInput) == 0L)  No test output available.

    val input = readInput("Day11")
    part1(input).println()
    part2(input).println()

    timeTrials("Part 1", unit = DurationUnit.MICROSECONDS) { part1(input) }
    timeTrials("Part 2", repetitions = 1000) { part2(input) }
}

class Day11Solver(input: List<String>) {
    private val parsedInput = input[0].split(' ').map { it.toLong() }

    /*

    private val cacheIndices = mutableMapOf<Long, Pair<Long, Long>>()  // Cache the next indices for going from Ï†á”ą(n) to φₖ(n - 1) + φₗ(n - 1).
    private val cacheValues = mutableMapOf<Pair<Long, Int>, Long>()  // Also cache already calculated Ï†á”ą(n)

    fun calculatePsi(i: Long): Pair<Long, Long> = cacheIndices.getOrPut(i) {
