## Part 1
|
|
|
|
You've almost reached the exit of the cave, but the walls are getting closer together. Your submarine can barely still fit, though; the main problem is that the walls of the cave are covered in [chitons](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chiton), and it would be best not to bump any of them.
|
|
|
|
The cavern is large, but has a very low ceiling, restricting your motion to two dimensions. The shape of the cavern resembles a square; a quick scan of chiton density produces a map of **risk level** throughout the cave (your puzzle input). For example:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
1163751742
|
|
1381373672
|
|
2136511328

|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You start in the top left position, your destination is the bottom right position, and you cannot move diagonally. The number at each position is its **risk level**; to determine the total risk of an entire path, add up the risk levels of each position you **enter** (that is, don't count the risk level of your starting position unless you enter it; leaving it adds no risk to your total).
|
|
|
|
Your goal is to find a path with the **lowest total risk**. In this example, a path with the lowest total risk is highlighted here:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
1163751742
|
|

|
|
1293138521
|
|
2311944581
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The total risk of this path is **`40`** (the starting position is never entered, so its risk is not counted).
|
|
|
|
**What is the lowest total risk of any path from the top left to the bottom right?**
|
|
|
|
## Part 2
|
|
|
|
Now that you know how to find low-risk paths in the cave, you can try to find your way out.
|
|
|
|
The entire cave is actually **five times larger in both dimensions** than you thought; the area you originally scanned is just one tile in a 5x5 tile area that forms the full map. Your original map tile repeats to the right and downward; each time the tile repeats to the right or downward, all of its risk levels **are 1 higher** than the tile immediately up or left of it. However, risk levels above `9` wrap back around to `1`. So, if your original map had some position with a risk level of `8`, then that same position on each of the 25 total tiles would be as follows:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
8 9 1 2 3
|
|
9 1 2 3 4
|
|
1 2 3 4 5
|
|
2 3 4 5 6
|
|
3 4 5 6 7
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Each single digit above corresponds to the example position with a value of `8` on the top-left tile. Because the full map is actually five times larger in both dimensions, that position appears a total of 25 times, once in each duplicated tile, with the values shown above.
|
|
|
|
Here is the full five-times-as-large version of the first example above, with the original map in the top left corner highlighted:

The total risk of this path is **`315`** (the starting position is still never entered, so its risk is not counted).
|
|
|
|
Using the full map, **what is the lowest total risk of any path from the top left to the bottom right?**
