** --- Day 1: Calorie Counting ---
|
||||
Santa's reindeer typically eat regular reindeer food, but they need a
|
||||
lot of [[/2018/day/25][magical energy]] to deliver presents on
|
||||
Christmas. For that, their favorite snack is a special type of /star/
|
||||
fruit that only grows deep in the jungle. The Elves have brought you on
|
||||
their annual expedition to the grove where the fruit grows.
|
||||
|
||||
To supply enough magical energy, the expedition needs to retrieve a
|
||||
minimum of /fifty stars/ by December 25th. Although the Elves assure you
|
||||
that the grove has plenty of fruit, you decide to grab any fruit you see
|
||||
along the way, just in case.
|
||||
|
||||
Collect stars by solving puzzles. Two puzzles will be made available on
|
||||
each day in the Advent calendar; the second puzzle is unlocked when you
|
||||
complete the first. Each puzzle grants /one star/. Good luck!
|
||||
|
||||
The jungle must be too overgrown and difficult to navigate in vehicles
|
||||
or access from the air; the Elves' expedition traditionally goes on
|
||||
foot. As your boats approach land, the Elves begin taking inventory of
|
||||
their supplies. One important consideration is food - in particular, the
|
||||
number of /Calories/ each Elf is carrying (your puzzle input).
|
||||
|
||||
The Elves take turns writing down the number of Calories contained by
|
||||
the various meals, snacks, rations, etc. that they've brought with them,
|
||||
one item per line. Each Elf separates their own inventory from the
|
||||
previous Elf's inventory (if any) by a blank line.
|
||||
|
||||
For example, suppose the Elves finish writing their items' Calories and
|
||||
end up with the following list:
|
||||
|
||||
#+begin_example
|
||||
1000
|
||||
2000
|
||||
3000
|
||||
|
||||
4000
|
||||
|
||||
5000
|
||||
6000
|
||||
|
||||
7000
|
||||
8000
|
||||
9000
|
||||
|
||||
10000
|
||||
#+end_example
|
||||
|
||||
This list represents the Calories of the food carried by five Elves:
|
||||
|
||||
- The first Elf is carrying food with =1000=, =2000=, and =3000=
|
||||
Calories, a total of =6000= Calories.
|
||||
- The second Elf is carrying one food item with =4000= Calories.
|
||||
- The third Elf is carrying food with =5000= and =6000= Calories, a
|
||||
total of =11000= Calories.
|
||||
- The fourth Elf is carrying food with =7000=, =8000=, and =9000=
|
||||
Calories, a total of =24000= Calories.
|
||||
- The fifth Elf is carrying one food item with =10000= Calories.
|
||||
|
||||
In case the Elves get hungry and need extra snacks, they need to know
|
||||
which Elf to ask: they'd like to know how many Calories are being
|
||||
carried by the Elf carrying the /most/ Calories. In the example above,
|
||||
this is /=24000=/ (carried by the fourth Elf).
|
||||
|
||||
Find the Elf carrying the most Calories. /How many total Calories is
|
||||
that Elf carrying?/
|
||||

||||
