 - Day 11: 68:00; okay but not elegant and way too slow ofc; x-ray solution would have been neat

   implementation from Project Euler but improved with heapq which was super fun

   but didn't realize that I have to compute the outer edges for a while and
   after I did, I still got clockwise/counter-clockwise issues. They could have
   made it meaner by using different clock directions for example and input.
