Full solution for today (spoilers!).
Part 1
Given a sequence of values
v_n
, replace each value with the first matching rule:
if v = 0 -> 1
- If
v
has an even number of digits, split it (sov = 8675
becomes[86, 75]
)- Otherwise,
v -> v * 2024
Calculate how many elements are in the sequence after 25 iterations.
