Day 24: Crossed Wires
Megathread guidelines
- Keep top level comments as only solutions, if you want to say something other than a solution put it in a new post. (replies to comments can be whatever)
- You can send code in code blocks by using three backticks, the code, and then three backticks or use something such as https://topaz.github.io/paste/ if you prefer sending it through a URL

Yes, I was, and this is very impressive. This should be a generic solution right? I’ll have to work out how to run it and test on my input.
Generic-ish. It’ll fit any of the input problems I think. You could fool it by using a non-canonical circuit, because it knows nothing about the equivalence of boolean expressions; and it also relies on one swap sufficing to fix an output, so I didn’t go particularly far into turning it into a generic search. Either of those problem extensions would take much more effort from a solver, so my expectation is that they were deliberately avoided.
