Convert the list into a 2D matrix of integers.
Assign state codes to each cell.
Use pen and paper:
Start by defining an initial state for the matrix (e.g., a 3x3 grid for simplicity).
Write down the matrix for each second, step by step, until you observe a repeating pattern or a cycle.
Optimization Tips:
Handle edge cases efficiently:
Quickly return results for trivial cases or repeating sequences.
Focus on patterns:
Once you identify a repeating pattern, determine if you need to calculate the states for all seconds individually.
Simplify your approach:
Assess whether storing the state codes as integers is necessary for solving the problem.
