This is a really fun problem! I suggest anyone who likes optimization in a very broad sense to try their hand at it. Might be the most fun I've had while interviewing. I had to spend a week-worth of evenings on it to fully scratch the itch, and I managed to get 1112 cycles. But that was mostly manual, before the current crop of agentic models (clopus 4.5, gpt5.2). I wonder how far you can RalphWiggum it!

I've never heard AI-assisted coding referred to as "RalphWiggum"ing a problem, and now I will have to use that always. Thank you.
