6b got wrong answer, I'm not sure why.

Hey! I've been looking at your solutions after I solve them to learn from your substantially more elegant solutions. I'm confused, though. Both of our solutions worked on the example, but mine neither worked on (my) input. I'm more curious than anything. Why do you think it would have failed (36992488 gotten, 36992486 correct)?
Input:

Time:        48     87     69     81
Distance:   255   1288   1117   1623

Good question. Not sure.

Does it work if you change f32 to f64 for better precision?

[pati08]

That does it! I considered that, but only tested it on my own solution (which I suppose was implemented in a way that made that unhelpful) and it didn't work, so I forgot about it. I guess at those scales even a small loss of precision can have a large effect!

Thanks for confirming. Happy to see that it works now!

I've quickly patched it: 60035d8
