Haven't touched #fsharp since last year. So I have been looking forward to this for some time now. Anyway, here's my solution. Not so elegant, but it works.

I bought my first Black Sabbath album (Between Heaven and Hell - compilation album) 30 years ago. I've listened to Ozzy ever since. Thank you for the music, Ozzy.

FFS, we (Cake) have advocating for running C# as scripts for more than 14 years, and before us ScriptCS.
It feels like I've been taking crazy pills, but this is not a new, world-changing thing. They've (finally!) just made it more ergonomic.
At least they could have credited prior art...

I just completed "Bridge Repair" - Day 7 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/7
At first glance I thought part 2 would be difficult, but in the end it was just adding a new operator. My solution in #fsharp can be found here:
