1096 | 0 | 0 | 9 | 3 | 6 | 5 | 19 | 26 | 29 | 3 | I tried to "grow" a solution using a genetic algorithm. Turns out that's not the best strategy, since the function you're optimizing depends on the population of solutions you're testing. Still, it was a fun thing to try and even kind of stabilized on a set of strategies (everything ignored 1-2 to some extent and either went hard on 10 or just sent a few there). |
