--- Day 17: Clumsy Crucible --- ------------------------------- The lava starts flowing rapidly once the Lava Production Facility is operational. As you leave, the reindeer offers you a parachute, allowing you to quickly reach Gear Island. As you descend, your bird's-eye view of Gear Island reveals why you had trouble finding anyone on your way up: half of Gear Island is empty, but the half below you is a giant factory city! You land near the gradually-filling pool of lava at the base of your new *lavafall*. Lavaducts will eventually carry the lava throughout the city, but to make use of it immediately, Elves are loading it into large [crucibles](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crucible) on wheels. The crucibles are top-heavy and pushed by hand. Unfortunately, the crucibles become very difficult to steer at high speeds, and so it can be hard to go in a straight line for very long. To get Desert Island the machine parts it needs as soon as possible, you'll need to find the best way to get the crucible *from the lava pool to the machine parts factory*. To do this, you need to minimize *heat loss* while choosing a route that doesn't require the crucible to go in a *straight line* for too long. Fortunately, the Elves here have a map (your puzzle input) that uses traffic patterns, ambient temperature, and hundreds of other parameters to calculate exactly how much heat loss can be expected for a crucible entering any particular city block. For example: ``` 2413432311323 3215453535623 3255245654254 3446585845452 4546657867536 1438598798454 4457876987766 3637877979653 4654967986887 4564679986453 1224686865563 2546548887735 4322674655533 ``` Each city block is marked by a single digit that represents the *amount of heat loss if the crucible enters that block*. The starting point, the lava pool, is the top-left city block; the destination, the machine parts factory, is the bottom-right city block. (Because you already start in the top-left block, you don't incur that block's heat loss unless you leave that block and then return to it.) Because it is difficult to keep the top-heavy crucible going in a straight line for very long, it can move *at most three blocks* in a single direction before it must turn 90 degrees left or right. The crucible also can't reverse direction; after entering each city block, it may only turn left, continue straight, or turn right. One way to *minimize heat loss* is this path: ``` 2*>**>*34*^**>**>**>*1323 32*v**>**>**>*35*v*5623 32552456*v**>**>*54 3446585845*v*52 4546657867*v**>*6 14385987984*v*4 44578769877*v*6 36378779796*v**>* 465496798688*v* 456467998645*v* 12246868655*<**v* 25465488877*v*5 43226746555*v**>* ``` This path never moves more than three consecutive blocks in the same direction and incurs a heat loss of only `*102*`. Directing the crucible from the lava pool to the machine parts factory, but not moving more than three consecutive blocks in the same direction, *what is the least heat loss it can incur?*
