Summary for those just joining us:
Advent of Code is an annual Christmas themed coding challenge that runs from December 1st until christmas. Each day the coding problems get progressively harder. We have a leaderboard and pretty good turnout, so feel free to hop in at any time and show your stuff!
Whether you have a single line monstrosity or a beautiful phone book sized stack of OOP code, you can export it in a nice little image for sharing at https://carbon.vercel.app
What did you think about today's problem?
Our Code is 2416137-393b284c (No need to share your profile, you have the option to join anonymously if you don't want us to see your github)
This is it, we're at the end now. Did you finish it all?

I was gonna do Karger's algorithm but I'm too full of food and alcohol to care at this point, so I used graphviz to manually find the three support edges and remove them from the input.

Since every node has 4+ connections and the cut size is 3:
It can trip up if crosses the bridge early on, but 99% of the time it gives the right answer.

This was fun for a while, but it became a real slog from day 17 onwards. I don't think I'll be doing this again.
