   Does it matter if they are evenly spaced? I think max time needed is the same if they are randomly spaced.

   Normally in these kind of cryptogram puzzles the leading digits of a number can't be 0. Your solution has A = 0.

   2x as many batteries would last 2x as long. Maybe longer when charged more slowly. I read about maybe the first electric ferry, that the grid could not supply the power demand when speed charging the ferry. A new power line with greater cap

   I don't get why they don't have roll-on roll-off batteries. It's a ferry after all. Plenty off time to charge then.

   A source of confusion is that memory chips are specified in number of bits capacity, not bytes capacity. The first DRAM chips where 1-bit oriented; i.e. read and write were 1-bit at a time. Then you stacked for example 8 chips in parralle

    The primary reason for the size was the amount of memory. The hardware address space was 64kB. It's a DOS so there were full set of system calls for file and directory handling.

    For some perspective: Say the size of the OS was 10kB. That's about 4000 lines of assembler code. About 100 lines (cards) of code per day.

    I had my share 40 years ago. No such fancy tools. Wrote out pages of dot matrix print and drawing arrows with a pen. Learned a lot yes!

    This was great to play in the days before computer games. Many good hours with my siblings. Always considerably bigger tracks than the examples here. We had this additional rule: If you run off the track you must turn around and reenter the
