mcpower

Hi, I'm mcpower. I've done Advent of Code seriously for two years now in Python, placing 9th in 2018 and 12th in 2017. This year, I'm taking a break from aiming for the leaderboard - while it's fun and all, it is a bit stressful at times (the good kind of stress, though!). As such, I'd like to share a few tips for anyone wanting to aim for the leaderboard.

This is everything that worked for me. Your mileage may vary, though - don't take this as gospel, see what works for you.

Go fast

WHO GIVES A TOSS?

The rules of the game are as follows:

• We play a total of N_GAMES times
• In each game, there are N_TOSSES made
• You can choose to bet on any of those tosses
• You are given the odds (which are constant for each game) before starting
• You are given your starting money before starting
• Each game a new probability of the coin landing heads is chosen from some distribution within [0, 1] (see judge.py)
• The probability is constant for each game
