In fact, it looks like you'll even have time to grab some food: all flights are currently delayed due to issues in luggage processing. + +Due to recent aviation regulations, many rules (your puzzle input) are being enforced about bags and their contents; bags must be color-coded and must contain specific quantities of other color-coded bags. Apparently, nobody responsible for these regulations considered how long they would take to enforce! + +For example, consider the following rules: + +light red bags contain 1 bright white bag, 2 muted yellow bags. +dark orange bags contain 3 bright white bags, 4 muted yellow bags. +bright white bags contain 1 shiny gold bag. +muted yellow bags contain 2 shiny gold bags, 9 faded blue bags. +shiny gold bags contain 1 dark olive bag, 2 vibrant plum bags. +dark olive bags contain 3 faded blue bags, 4 dotted black bags. +vibrant plum bags contain 5 faded blue bags, 6 dotted black bags. +faded blue bags contain no other bags. +dotted black bags contain no other bags. +These rules specify the required contents for 9 bag types. In this example, every faded blue bag is empty, every vibrant plum bag contains 11 bags (5 faded blue and 6 dotted black), and so on. + +You have a shiny gold bag. If you wanted to carry it in at least one other bag, how many different bag colors would be valid for the outermost bag? (In other words: how many colors can, eventually, contain at least one shiny gold bag?) + +In the above rules, the following options would be available to you: + +A bright white bag, which can hold your shiny gold bag directly. +A muted yellow bag, which can hold your shiny gold bag directly, plus some other bags. +A dark orange bag, which can hold bright white and muted yellow bags, either of which could then hold your shiny gold bag. +A light red bag, which can hold bright white and muted yellow bags, either of which could then hold your shiny gold bag. +So, in this example, the number of bag colors that can eventually contain at least one shiny gold bag is 4. + +How many bag colors can eventually contain at least one shiny gold bag?
