Interesting problem. But in my opinion the difficulty of this puzzle should be medium, not easy.

Thanks for the comment. I thought it was on the more difficult side of Easy for sure. But my solution was less than 50 lines of Python, and took me much less an hour to write, which is my calibration point for separating Easy from Medium. I would also look at “Community Success Rate”, which I would expect to be <50% for a Medium problem in the Easy section. It’s currently on 63%, so I feel the difficulty is appropriate.
While the “Community Success Rate” is a helpful metric, the current sample size is too small to draw definitive conclusions. It would be better to wait until hundreds or even thousands of players have started/finished the puzzle, allowing the rate to stabilise and provide a clearer reflection of its true difficulty.
Interesting puzzle, definitely looks like it could be above easy calibration, but with enough thought, it is simple enough! might just take more time than your average easy to figure out, but once you get the trick, you are good to go!
thanks @tcooke , it was enjoyable!
