I don't know that it's quite similar though: advent's day 15 is about replicating exactly the algorithm used by the system designer, except using a somewhat hand-wavy description. Because of the testing methodology/system, it adds a lot of complexity to the task of aggro/pathfinding.

Yeah, you are right, it just happens to remind me day 15. The description is surely not the best, but I don’t think it’s hand wavy, it went great length to explain what happens which I appreciate. What frustrates me is it does not help me to discover certain edge cases. But it reflects reality, there are bugs you can never imagine until you run into.
