  • Most trackers will only sync with their manufacturers app (therefore giving them the data)

    it might be different with a full on smart watch as I assume you can install fitness apps on it?

  • I think a lot of money has been spent looking at the area to confirm there isn't anything in its way - one of the other comments has a link about how everything was paused for 4 months when they did find something nearby.

    If they can dig a tube tunnel through some of the places in london that they did for crossrail, this isn't going to be a problem.

    There is already an A-road there, one that is normally practically stationary due to how the road narrows there. by sticking it in a tunnel it saves the immediate area from the pollution. Hopefully as we electrify more vehicles that will get even better too.

    For reference - this is how close the road currently is - getting it underground will make the immediate area much nicer.

  • If they can remove the overground road there is that not an improvement? It's not like this area is pristine, there are towns there, a military base etc. this will improve the area immediately around Stonehenge.

    If they are spending money on archeology in the area and discovering new things, that's great. It means the entrance/exit are less likely to damage anything.

    On the environment - that's less of an issue if we can electrify vehicles properly, it's a busy road because people and freight (lots of warheouses in Aimesbury) use it. We have unfortunately proved that we can't build railways either so there isn't much choice.

  • It's on a big hill, the archeology isn't going to be more than 10m deep right? The only issue will therefore be at the entrance and exit?

    I assume that they put the portals in 'empty' places and will have archeologists at the site to confirm they are not digging things up. (And have/are studying the area more)

  • If your happy to wear a fitness tracker there are lots of options by companies such as Garmin.

    Not sure about phone only ones

  • Can you update your original comment then please. The cut and cover idea is unfortunately believable.

  • If they dig under it, then there is very little effect and it gets rid of the busy, noisy and slow main road that goes right by it.

    I'm getting downvoted - what damage are you worried about?

  • Oh shit, their doing cut and cover? That's crazy!

    The druids are right!

    Edit: not sure this is correct? https://nationalhighways.co.uk/our-roads/a303-stonehenge/about-the-scheme/ indicates twin bore

  • I don't think you can have private communities currently?

  • C# I had fun with this one and overbuilt it somewhat. Disappointed I didn't get/need to implement Dijkstra's algorithm.

    For part two I did a x2 expand, so the example input expanded and found the middles like this (0s for the targets as their easier to distinguish):

    Part 2 is too big to post... see pastebin link

  • huh... expand x2 worked for me. I wonder if I had a nice input set

  • It's a good thing I killed my CPU attempt after 2 hours then!

    I would have definitely died in that sandstorm!

  • I think that has been an outlier so far, its good to have one that makes you re-evaluate your solution once in a while.

    Definitely a time sink though!

  • C#

    Not too bad - I just scored every hand for the first part so I could easily sort it.

    For the second part I just brute forced the replacements for the hand type matchinge (first digit of score)

  • on my first attempt my computer couldn't run Spotify at the same time because it was paging so hard >.<

    final go was in the order of 20 seconds or so I think (with practically 0 memory usage)
