console.log('Hello World')
[JavaScript] Well that was by far the hardest out of all of the days, part 1 was relatively fine but part 2 took me awhile of trying different things
Ended up solving it by working backwards by trying different location values and seeing if that can become a valid seed. Takes around 3 secs to compute the answer.

Part 2 Code Block
Torn between doing the problem backwards and implementing a more general case -- glad to know both approaches work out in the end!
Huh, that's clever.
Turns out I got really lucky and my location value is much lower than most peoples which is why it can be solved relatively quickly
