Solution: sort numbers using custom rules and compare if sorted == original. Part 2 is trivial.
Runtime for both parts: 1.05 ms

proc parseRules(input: string): Table[int, seq[int]] =
  for line in input.splitLines():
    let pair = line.split('|')
    let (a, b) = (pair[0].parseInt, pair[1].parseInt)
    discard result.hasKeyOrPut(a, newSeq[int]())
    result[a].add b

proc solve(input: string): AOCSolution[int, int] =
  let chunks = input.split("\n\n")
  let later = parseRules(chunks[0])
  for line in chunks[1].splitLines():
    let numbers = line.split(',').map(parseInt)
    let sorted = numbers.sorted(cmp =
      proc(a,b: int): int =
        if a in later and b in later[a]: -1
        elif b in later and a in later[b]: 1
        else: 0
    )
    if numbers == sorted:
      result.part1 += numbers[numbers.len div 2]
    else:
      result.part2 += sorted[sorted.len div 2]

Took me a while to figure out how to sort according to the rules. 🤯

fun part1(input: String): Int {
    val (rules, listOfNumbers) = parse(input)
    return listOfNumbers
        .filter { numbers -> numbers == sort(numbers, rules) }
        .sumOf { numbers -> numbers[numbers.size / 2] }
}

fun part2(input: String): Int {
    val (rules, listOfNumbers) = parse(input)
    return listOfNumbers
        .filterNot { numbers -> numbers == sort(numbers, rules) }
        .map { numbers -> sort(numbers, rules) }
        .sumOf { numbers -> numbers[numbers.size / 2] }
}

private fun sort(numbers: List<Int>, rules: List<Pair<Int, Int>>): List<Int> {
    return numbers.sortedWith { a, b -> if (rules.contains(a to b)) -1 else 1 }
}

private fun parse(input: String): Pair<List<Pair<Int, Int>>, List<List<Int>>> {
    val (rulesSection, numbersSection) = input.split("\n\n")
    val rules = rulesSection.lines()
        .mapNotNull { line -> """(\d{2})\|(\d{2})""".toRegex().matchEntire(line) }
        .map { match -> match.groups[1]?.value?.toInt()!! to match.groups[2]?.value?.toInt()!! }
    val numbers = numbersSection.lines().map { line -> line.split(',').map { it.toInt() } }
    return rules to numbers
}

A bit easier than I first thought it was going to be.

I had a look at the Uiua discussion, and this one looks to be beyond my pay grade, so this will be it for today.

import 'package:collection/collection.dart';
import 'package:more/more.dart';

(int, int) solve(List<String> lines) {
  var parts = lines.splitAfter((e) => e == '');
  var pred = SetMultimap.fromEntries(parts.first.skipLast(1).map((e) {
    var ps = e.split('|').map(int.parse);
    return MapEntry(ps.last, ps.first);
  }));
  ordering(a, b) => pred[a].contains(b) ? 1 : 0;

  var pageSets = parts.last.map((e) => e.split(',').map(int.parse).toList());
  var partn = pageSets.partition((ps) => ps.isSorted(ordering));
  return (
    partn.truthy.map((e) => e[e.length ~/ 2]).sum,
    partn.falsey.map((e) => (e..sort(ordering))[e.length ~/ 2]).sum
  );
}

part2(List<String> lines) => solve(lines).$2;

Rust

Real thinker. Messed around with a couple solutions before this one. The gist is to take all the pairwise comparisons given and record them for easy access in a ranking matrix.

For the sample input, this grid would look like this (I left out all the non-present integers, but it would be a 98 x 98 grid where all the empty spaces are filled with Ordering::Equal):

   13 29 47 53 61 75 97
13  =  >  >  >  >  >  >
29  <  =  >  >  >  >  >
47  <  <  =  <  <  >  >
53  <  <  >  =  >  >  >
61  <  <  >  <  =  >  >
75  <  <  <  <  <  =  >
97  <  <  <  <  <  <  =

I discovered this can't be used for a total order on the actual puzzle input because there were cycles in the pairs given (see how rust changed sort implementations as of 1.81). I used usize for convenience (I did it with u8 for all the pair values originally, but kept having to cast over and over as usize). Didn't notice a performance difference, but I'm sure uses a bit more memory.

Also I Liked the simple_grid crate a little better than the grid one. Will have to refactor that out at some point.

*Edit: I did try switching to just using std::collections::HashMap, but it was 0.1 ms slower on average than using the simple_grid::Grid... Vec[idx] access is faster maybe?

Rust

While part 1 was pretty quick, part 2 took me a while to figure something out. I figured that the relation would probably be a total ordering, and obtained the actual order using topological sorting. But it turns out the relation has cycles, so the topological sort must be limited to the elements that actually occur in the lists.

use std::collections::{HashSet, HashMap, VecDeque};

        .map(|l| {
            let (a, b) = l.split_once('|').unwrap();
            (a.parse().unwrap(), b.parse().unwrap())
        })
        .collect();
    (relation, parse_lists(lists))
}

    let mut graph = Vec::new();
    for l in ordering.lines() {
        let (a, b) = l.split_once('|').unwrap();
        let v: u32 = a.parse().unwrap();
        let w: u32 = b.parse().unwrap();
        let new_len = v.max(w) as usize + 1;
        if new_len > graph.len() {

J

This is a problem where J's biases lead one to a very different solution from most of the others. The natural representation of a directed graph in J is an adjacency matrix, and sorting is specified in terms of a permutation to apply rather than in terms of a comparator: x /: y (respectively x \: y) determines the permutation that would put y in ascending (descending) order, then applies that permutation to x.

data_file_name =: '5.data'
lines =: cutopen fread data_file_name
NB. manuals start with the first line where the index of a comma is < 5

edges =: ". (' ' & (2}))"1 > start_of_manuals {. lines
NB. don't unbox and parse yet because they aren't all the same length

max_page =: >./ , edges
NB. adjacency matrix of the page partial ordering; e.i. makes identity matrix
adjacency =: 1 (< edges)} e. i. >: max_page
NB. ordered line is true if line is ordered according to the adjacency matrix

I was very much unhappy because my previous implementation took 1 second to execute and trashed through 2GB RAM in the process of doing so, I sat down again with some inspiration about the sorting approach.
I am very much happy now, the profiler tells me that most of time is spend in the parsing functions now.

I am also grateful for everyone else doing haskell, this way I learned about Arrays, Bifunctors and Arrows which (I think) improved my code a lot.

Well, this one ended up with a surprisingly easy part 2 with how I wrote it.
Not the most computationally optimal code, but since they're still cheap enough to run in milliseconds I'm not overly bothered.

class OrderComparer : IComparer<int>
{
  Dictionary<int, List<int>> ordering;
  public OrderComparer(Dictionary<int, List<int>> ordering) {
    this.ordering = ordering;
  }

  public int Compare(int x, int y)
  {
    if (ordering.ContainsKey(x) && ordering[x].Contains(y))
      return -1;
    return 1;
  }
}

Dictionary<int, List<int>> ordering = new Dictionary<int, List<int>>();
int[][] updates = new int[0][];

public void Input(IEnumerable<string> lines)
{
  foreach (var pair in lines.TakeWhile(l => l.Contains('|')).Select(l => l.Split('|').Select(w => int.Parse(w))))
  {
    if (!ordering.ContainsKey(pair.First()))
      ordering[pair.First()] = new List<int>();
    ordering[pair.First()].Add(pair.Last());
  }
  updates = lines.SkipWhile(s => s.Contains('|') || string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(s)).Select(l => l.Split(',').Select(w => int.Parse(w)).ToArray()).ToArray();
}

public void Part1()
{
  int correct = 0;
  var comparer = new OrderComparer(ordering);
  foreach (var update in updates)
  {
    var ordered = update.Order(comparer);
    if (update.SequenceEqual(ordered))
      correct += ordered.Skip(ordered.Count() / 2).First();
  }

  Console.WriteLine($"Sum: {correct}");
}
public void Part2()

  int incorrect = 0;
  var comparer = new OrderComparer(ordering);
  foreach (var update in updates)

    var ordered = update.Order(comparer);

I thought of doing a sort at first, but dismissed it for some reason, so I came up with this slow and bulky recursive backtracking thing which traverses the rules as a graph until it reaches a depth equal to the given sequence. Not my finest work, but it does solve the puzzle :)

C

I got the question so wrong - I thought a|b and b|c would imply a|c so I went and used dynamic programming to propagate indirect relations through a table.

It worked beautifully but not for the input, which doesn't describe an absolute global ordering at all. It may well give a|c and b|c AND c|a. Nothing can be deduced then, and nothing needs to, because all required relations are directly specified.

The table works great though, the sort comparator is a simple 2D array index, so O(1).

#define TSZ 100
#define ASZ 32

/* tab[a][b] is -1 if a<b and 1 if a>b */
static int8_t tab[TSZ][TSZ];

static int
cmp(const void *a, const void *b)
{
	return tab[*(const int *)a][*(const int *)b];
}

main(int argc, char **argv)
{
	char buf[128], *rest, *tok;
	int p1=0,p2=0, arr[ASZ],srt[ASZ], n,i, a,b;

	if (argc > 1)
		DISCARD(freopen(argv[1], "r", stdin));
	
	while (fgets(buf, sizeof(buf), stdin)) {
		if (sscanf(buf, "%d|%d", &a, &b) != 2)
			break;
		assert(a>=0); assert(a<TSZ);
		assert(b>=0); assert(b<TSZ);
		tab[a][b] = -(tab[b][a] = 1);
	}

	while ((rest = fgets(buf, sizeof(buf), stdin))) {
		for (n=0; (tok = strsep(&rest, ",")); n++) {
			assert(n < (int)LEN(arr));
			sscanf(tok, "%d", &arr[n]);
		}

		memcpy(srt, arr, n*sizeof(*srt));
		qsort(srt, n, sizeof(*srt), cmp);

Used a sorted/unsorted comparison to solve the first part, the second part was just filling out the else branch.

Using a map to store u|v relations. Part 2 sorting with a custom compare function worked very nicely

	mapPages := make(map[string][]string)

	for scanner.Scan() {

		if line == "" {
			rulesSection = false
			continue
		}

		if rulesSection {
			parts := strings.Split(line, "|")
			u, v := parts[0], parts[1]
			mapPages[u] = append(mapPages[u], v)
		} else {
			update := strings.Split(line, ",")
			isOk := true

			for i := 1; i < len(update); i++ {
				u, v := update[i-1], update[i]
				if !slices.Contains(mapPages[u], v) {
					isOk = false
					break
				}
			}

			middlePos := len(update) / 2
			if isOk {
				middlePage, _ := strconv.Atoi(update[middlePos])
				middleSumOk += middlePage
			} else {
				slices.SortFunc(update, func(u, v string) int {

				})

Part 2 was an interesting one and my solution kinda feels like cheating. What I did I only changed the validation method from part 1 to return the indexes of incorrectly placed pages and then randomly swapped those around in a loop until the validation passed. I was expecting this to not work at all or take forever to run but surprisingly it only takes three to five seconds to complete.

Still in rust, and still inexperienced.

Forgot to make a separate solve for part two, for part one, imagine this without the make_valid function and some slightly different structure changes around the accumulator in babbage().

Used a hash map to track what should be in order, and a few indexed loops to keep track of where I’m at and where to look forward.

TypeScript

This one ended up being easier than I thought it was going to be. My algorithm for correcting the incorrect orders needed to be ran multiple times, for some reason

            [list(map(int, re.findall(r'\d+', x)))
             for x in lines if re.search(r',', x)], 0)

Kotlin

That was an easy one, once you define a comparator function. (At least when you have a sorting function in your standard-library.) The biggest part was the parsing. lol

import kotlin.text.Regex

fun main() {
    fun part1(input: List<String>): Int = parseInput(input).sumOf { if (it.isCorrectlyOrdered()) it[it.size / 2].pageNumber else 0 }

    fun part2(input: List<String>): Int = parseInput(input).sumOf { if (!it.isCorrectlyOrdered()) it.sorted()[it.size / 2].pageNumber else 0 }

    val testInput = readInput("Day05_test")
    check(part1(testInput) == 143)
    check(part2(testInput) == 123)

    val input = readInput("Day05")
    part1(input).println()
    part2(input).println()
}

fun parseInput(input: List<String>): List<List<Page>> {
    val (orderRulesStrings, pageSequencesStrings) = input.filter { it.isNotEmpty() }.partition { Regex("""\d+\|\d+""").matches(it) }

    val orderRules = orderRulesStrings.map { with(it.split('|')) { this[0].toInt() to this[1].toInt() } }
    val orderRulesX = orderRules.map { it.first }.toSet()
    val pages = orderRulesX.map { pageNumber ->
        val orderClasses = orderRules.filter { it.first == pageNumber }.map { it.second }
        Page(pageNumber, orderClasses)
    }.associateBy { it.pageNumber }

    val pageSequences = pageSequencesStrings.map { sequenceString ->
        sequenceString.split(',').map { pages[it.toInt()] ?: Page(it.toInt(), emptyList()) }
    }

    return pageSequences
}

/*
 * An order class is an equivalence class for every page with the same page to be printed before.
 */
data class Page(val pageNumber: Int, val orderClasses: List<Int>): Comparable<Page> {
    override fun compareTo(other: Page): Int =
        if (other.pageNumber in orderClasses) -1
        else if (pageNumber in other.orderClasses) 1
        else 0
}

fun List<Page>.isCorrectlyOrdered(): Boolean = this == this.sorted()

Julia

No really proud of todays solution. Probably because I started too late today.

I used a dictionary with the numbers that should be in front of any given number. Then I checked if they appear after that number. Part1 check. For part 2 I just hoped for the best that ordering it would work by switching each two problematic entries and it worked.
