adding emphasis to words in unformatted text draws the reader's attention in ways that are not implied by the text itself.

you cannot figure out which word to highlight with the raw text "I didn't say he stole the money", but the semantics are completely different depending on if/where they exist.

It also doesn't help that in the example, the expected outcome of 53.3333/46.6667 isn't even considered.

the linked source checks out. diskcopy will also do this for you if you give it source = dest.

if we just look at the last three puzzles: day 23 last year, for example, admitted the greedy solution but only for some inputs. greedy clearly shouldn't work (shuffling the vertices in a file that admits it causes it to fail).
