Started by me, slimmed down to 23i, then Exception took over. It's almost disappointing how simple the result looks. 

We didn't find a way for the stick-making station to be faster than 1/18p6, so hope y'all enjoy watching grass grow.

Obligatory shoutout to biggie for being biggie <3

I've never TI-solved before, but I have Period-solved. I was told to read a blog about it, but I didn't actually get around to it.

I find there's this ebb and flow to iteration. You find a new approach using some fancy scaffolding, then you delve deeper and find some novel way to rip that scaffolding away and go even further.

The fact that we've converged on something simple for a weekly puzzle makes me suspicious of what monster might be out there in SolveSpace, but I rather enjoy the elegance of this one.
