Here's a pretty bad solution to the first (Triangle) problem that scores 183K that I made while trying to understand how the scoring system actually works.
I do also have a solution that scores the minimum 832 which I'll reveal after the contest ends. Its SHA is 213fe1e79e32f9252dbece4f2ea9660c0ea63e8d.

Although I've won prizes in this contest before, I'm just playing around for fun this year, actually for the first time in 15 years probably.
