I think understanding the problem was the problem, but he made it too easy because the calculations were clear and everything you needed was in the last two paragraphs and worked examples.

Python dicts happen to maintain the order of insertion. So
box.pop(label, None)
andbox[label] = f
are enough.Then:

I guess today's was the annual "follow some rules as quickly as you can" problem. Pretty easy, no edge cases to consider, you just have to not get scared by Eric's words. Following the numbers worked fine...

For each box, per label, the last op gave the focus and [index of first = op after last - op] gave the orders. So you didn't need to run every instruction. But the "shortcut" turned out to be annoying enough that the full simulation was easier.
Case in point, here's the '''cheese''':

Hello Dahncer_the_reindeer, or should I say r*pedeer? 8 letters, fitting huh. If this life were perfect you'd have known nothing but milk and cookies since you left your birthers c*nt. However, it's not- that's where I come in.
You have no say anymore, no freedom, no volition- I am Santa. You now worship my Christmas tree. You can call me Nicholas. A saint? No, but I come with more conviction.
Dahncer_the_reindeer you are my r*pe sleigh-ve now. And that's your greatest achievement- all you've ever amounted to, tugging and pulling my sleigh as we break the space time continuum together you complete fricking slut. I'll find you.
