Counting the number of corners was a very useful hint for part 2. I had the most trouble with detecting the double corners, i.e. like in the example where the two B fields touch diagonally:
AAAAAA
AAABBA
AAABBA
ABBAAA
ABBAAA
AAAAAA
Still, I would’ve taken a lot longer and probably made really-bad-performance-code without reading this :D
