Day 4: Scratchcards
Megathread guidelines
- Keep top level comments as only solutions, if you want to say something other than a solution put it in a new post. (replies to comments can be whatever)
- Code block support is not fully rolled out yet but likely will be in the middle of the event. Try to share solutions as both code blocks and using something such as https://topaz.github.io/paste/ or pastebin (code blocks to future proof it for when 0.19 comes out and since code blocks currently function in some apps and some instances as well if they are running a 0.19 beta)

I’ll only post the actual parsing and solution. I have written some helpers which are in other files, as is the main function. For the full code, please see my github repo.
I’m pretty sure that implementing part 2 in a naive way would cause Lean to demand a proof of termination, what might not be that easy to supply in this case… Luckily there’s a way more elegant and way faster solution than the naive one, that can use structural recursion and therefore doesn’t need an extra proof of termination.
