Regarding this OOM for day 22 (monkeys and bananas). How much does this Pico have RAM? I've just carried out a test on banana running day 22 with nothing else running only the xterm, and system monitor. Just the OS (Bianbu/Debian) and the system monitor running, it shows 1 GB RAM in use. When I start the xterm, Scheme and start day22 program in it, it shows only 1.1GB, and it never goes up!Since the Pico's arrival I've tried running C++ Advent of Code solutions on it. This year it gets more interesting with the addition of the Pico 2. These solutions are single threaded pure CPU and memory system (including XIP) stressors using integer arithmetic, without IO. I wanted some idea of CM3 vs. CM0+ performance. Again this is pure CPU and does not take advantage of the CM3's DSP and floating point extensions. All solutions were compiled with GCC 14.2 Rel 1 provided by Arm here and using the -std=c++23 -O3 compiler options.

Adjusting for different system clocks, the CM3 core is 1.98 * 133 / 150 = 1.75 CM0+ cores.
