Aurora Diary Synthesis
You can think of this as a small game with a very specific goal. In Aurora Diary Synthesis, you are trying to work toward the right answer by following one clear idea.
Synthesize layered diary entries recursively A good way to think about it is to first understand what goes in, then what rule you must follow, and finally what shape the answer should have.
For example, if the input is root_line = "A pale arc crowns the fjord.", observers = [{"name": "Kael", "insight": "Stars echo in the ice."}, {"name": "Lysa", "insight": "Upper bands split in two."}], the answer is Lights ripple over the tide.. Example with input: root_line = "A pale arc crowns the fjord.", observ Another example is root_line = "Lights ripple over the tide.", observers = [], which gives Eira begins: Lights ripple over the tide. Eira notes: Green curtains meet the reef.. Example with input: root_line = "Lights ripple over the tide.", observ
This problem needs a little more patience than a very easy one. The key is understanding the rule clearly and then applying it carefully.
