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

Python
Nobody posted a solution in python for today???
Here is my solver with a little extra to print the Part 2 path. you can totally remove/comment out the printing out of the part 2 path, but it is neat to look at!
Execution time: ~25 milliseconds + an unnecessary ~7 ms to print part 2 path
This is the one where you don’t have it print out the Part 2 path and smaller: [ Paste ]
here is also a faster version that uses binary search instead. but its only a few milliseconds faster.
Execution time: ~21 milliseconds + an unnecessary ~7 ms to print part 2 path
