Setup

This is an interesting game from a setup perspective. I got them all right, but was WAYYYY beyond time. I set it up as a multi linear, with one for BC and one for G. This is the first game I have seen an entirely different setup than the provided video... Just not sure if I was moving slow, or if the setup caused me to move slow.

My inclination was also to set this up as multi linear, or as some Kind of hybrid with two lines. I think there's a value to that in keeping the g and t separate, although I certainly see the value in just making there six variables, here, with subscripts for the g and t. While I think that latter approach is likely to be slightly more efficient, I don't know if that's a huge time drain. However, did you hit on the deduction that since there are only two possible years in which there will be graduations, the 93 rule is very determinative? If not, this game would be a huge slog.

I did hit that deduction, I set it up similarly to how you see AM and PM setups where some PMs don't have anything placed, I just put an X in those slots. I finished this game between 11-12 minutes, so not a crazy amount of time, but still, more than I would like in case there is a harder game.

That really isn't terrible- there are always gonna be the occasional game that kills you. My advice for that is just to keep at it and practice, because while you can get better at the hard games, you can get yourself really really good at the easy games. All things being equal I'd rather get perfect at killing the east games fast, and give myself the leeway to take more time on the hard ones.

Not saying to rush or get sloppy. Just saying that east games are trainable to the point where you can smash them fast, unlike hard games.

Thank you!
