 - Day  1: 7:52 ... so slow brah :/ top 100 required 2:05...
-- Day  2: 22:30 ... I mistyped the first and second was just bad top 100 would have been 6:16 (doable?)

 - Day  3: 13:08 actually decent but top 100 required 5:24
 - Day  4: 7:08 but top 100 required 3:33 still okay
 - Day  5: 11:56 but 7:58 for top 100... getting better?
 - Day  6: 3:50 but 2:25 for leaderboard :D
 - Day  7: 27:55 and 14:47 for leaderboard; okay, I would say

 - Day  9: 58:00 and 7:32 for leaderboard; I need code for 2D stuff
 - Day 10: 25:20 and 12:17 for leaderboard; okay, okay
 - Day 11: 45:00 and 18:00 for leaderboard; arg, it was doable man

 - Day 14: 35:00 and 14:54; I just have to get that much quicker... 2D code!
-- Day 15: 150:00 and 27:00; I didn't use Manhatten dist initially, lot's of debugging
