So what would you say the odds are of being able to top what your program spat out?

Is there a decent chance of error, or can I save myself some time and just give up now?

My program has gotten similar results twice

There’s always a chance of a bug, but I would think it’s pretty small. Our programs work very differently.

Minecraft is like digital Legos. I like digital things and I like Legos. I am now addicted to Minecraft.

Well, then, I’ll just swallow this and be tortured by a legion of hobgoblins, all of my own creation! It’s all HUMBUG, I tell you, HUMBUG!

unless a webpage didn't fully load

which I think would spit out an error (I know it does if I unplug my ethernet cable, but that’s more than a single website), this program is 100% as far as I know. I’ve never had it give me a worse result than anyone else, and my algorithm is a breadth first search, so I don’t see any problems there in ignoring viable paths.

however, you might be able to find alternate solutions of the same length.

If you find something significantly different than my path, I’ll have Kyle grant you the victory. But if you just are changing the final 4-5 nodes, we’ve seen that there are a lot of equivalent paths there.
