Day 6 of #AdventOfCode part 1 was a snap for the PET

However, part 2, my second input is a 48-bit integer, so I went with Elixir again. Plus, it was going to be 44 million loops, which, on the back of a napkin, I put the PET at about 200 hours to complete. I HAVE worked with VERY large numbers in 8-bit BASIC before. It’s possible, but it’s really slow. https://imapenguin.com/2022/07/adding-very-large-integers-in-8-bit-basic/
