Sorry for the necropost: I have completed all the problems! One of them completely stumped me and I had to cheat. Not going to do a writeup unless requested :)

congrats! I have officially checked out of the competition for the time being. Maybe if I get some spare energy later.

What problem had you stumped?

24b, sort of. The problem came down to “hey do you remember how to do linear algebra?” and the answer was: dawg, I barely know normal algebra. I had solved the vibes of the problem but none of the details, though.
