pretty sure nobody cares anymore but I finished day 1:f_thumbsup:
I had never seen this before.
I did finish Day 1 as well, and I'll continue just for the exercise.
I made a couple of errors -- I need to go back and learn to count to 12

Board: 3♦:3♣:A♦:A♥:. How many combos of A3o are still possible?Spoiler
3 – This time the board blocks one combo less, so A♠:3♥:, A♣:3♠: and A♣:3♥: are still possible.
For folks struggling to understand the math, easy and reliable shortcut to calculate is to simply multiply available cards having removed the blockers (on board):
Board AcAh3c3h
A3 combos = 2 x 2 = 4
A3o = A3 - 2 suited left (ds) = 2
Board 3d3cAdAh
A3 combos = 2 x 2 = 4 (Same!)
1 suited left => A3s (But now more of the suited ones are blocked!)
4 - 1 = 3 A3o combos left!
And finally, on 3d3cAhAs we block ALL 4 suits leaving no more suited A3s and 2 x 2 = 4 combos of A3o!
