# Part Two
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Just as you're about to report your findings to the Elf, one of you realizes that the rules have actually been printed
|
||||||
|
on the back of every card this whole time.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
There's no such thing as "points". Instead, scratchcards only cause you to win more scratchcards equal to the number
|
||||||
|
of winning numbers you have.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Specifically, you win copies of the scratchcards below the winning card equal to the number of matches. So, if card
|
||||||
|
10 were to have 5 matching numbers, you would win one copy each of cards 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Copies of scratchcards are scored like normal scratchcards and have the same card number as the card they copied. So,
|
||||||
|
if you win a copy of card 10 and it has 5 matching numbers, it would then win a copy of the same cards that the
|
||||||
|
original card 10 won: cards 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15. This process repeats until none of the copies cause you to win
|
||||||
|
any more cards. (Cards will never make you copy a card past the end of the table.)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This time, the above example goes differently:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
Card 1: 41 48 83 86 17 | 83 86 6 31 17 9 48 53
|
||||||
|
Card 2: 13 32 20 16 61 | 61 30 68 82 17 32 24 19
|
||||||
|
Card 3: 1 21 53 59 44 | 69 82 63 72 16 21 14 1
|
||||||
|
Card 4: 41 92 73 84 69 | 59 84 76 51 58 5 54 83
|
||||||
|
Card 5: 87 83 26 28 32 | 88 30 70 12 93 22 82 36
|
||||||
|
Card 6: 31 18 13 56 72 | 74 77 10 23 35 67 36 11
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Card 1 has four matching numbers, so you win one copy each of the next four cards: cards 2, 3, 4, and 5.
|
||||||
|
- Your original card 2 has two matching numbers, so you win one copy each of cards 3 and 4.
|
||||||
|
- Your copy of card 2 also wins one copy each of cards 3 and 4.
|
||||||
|
- Your four instances of card 3 (one original and three copies) have two matching numbers, so you win four copies each of cards 4 and 5.
|
||||||
|
- Your eight instances of card 4 (one original and seven copies) have one matching number, so you win eight copies of card 5.
|
||||||
|
- Your fourteen instances of card 5 (one original and thirteen copies) have no matching numbers and win no more cards.
|
||||||
|
- Your one instance of card 6 (one original) has no matching numbers and wins no more cards.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Once all of the originals and copies have been processed, you end up with 1 instance of card 1, 2 instances of card 2,
|
||||||
|
4 instances of card 3, 8 instances of card 4, 14 instances of card 5, and 1 instance of card 6. In total, this example
|
||||||
|
pile of scratchcards causes you to ultimately have 30 scratchcards!
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Process all of the original and copied scratchcards until no more scratchcards are won. Including the original set of
|
||||||
|
scratchcards, how many total scratchcards do you end up with?
