Given a 20×20 grid of non-negative integers, find a 3×3 sub-grid where the product of the sums of the individual lines hits the maximum. Spoken in formulas:

Given the 3×3 sub-grid

$$\mathfrak{U} = \left(\begin{matrix} x_{11} & x_{12} & x_{13} \\ x_{21} & x_{22} & x_{23} \\ x_{31} & x_{32} & x_{33} \end{matrix}\right)$$

the function to maximize is

$$\begin{align} f(\mathfrak{U}) & = \left(\begin{matrix} \underbrace{(x_{11} + x_{12} + x_{13})}_\cdot \\ \overbrace{\underbrace{(x_{21} + x_{22} + x_{23})}}_\cdot \\ \overbrace{(x_{31} + x_{32} + x_{33})} \\ \end{matrix}\right) \\ & = (x_{11} + x_{12} + x_{13}) \cdot (x_{21} + x_{22} + x_{23}) \cdot (x_{31} + x_{32} + x_{33}) \end{align}$$

Per line the sum is calculated and the individual sums are then multiplied.

An example (only 5×5):

$$\begin{matrix} 40 & 30 & 42 & 22 & 74 \\ 294 & 97 & \color{red} {35} & \color{red}{272} & \color{red}{167} \\ 52 & 8 & \color{red}{163} & \color{red}{270} & \color{red}{242} \\ 247 & 130 & \color{red}{216} & \color{red} {68} & \color{red}{266} \\ 283 & 245 & 164 & 53 & 148 \\ \end{matrix}$$

The part highlighted in red is the part where the value of the function \$f(\mathfrak{U})\$ is largest for the entire grid:

\$(35 + 272 + 167) ⋅ (163 + 270 + 242) ⋅ (216 + 68 + 266) = 175972500\$

Input

Input is given on standard input and consists of 20 lines, each containing 20 numbers, separated by a space character (U+0020). The numbers are small enough that a 32-bit signed integer is sufficient to compute the result.

You may assume input to be given redirected from a file.

Output

Output is the result of the function \$f(\mathfrak{U})\$ for the 3×3 sub-grid that gives the largest result. In above example this would have been \$175972500\$.

C#, 324 321 308 chars

using System;using System.Linq;class X{static void Main(){int m=0,v,x=0,y;Func<int[],int>f=t=>t[x]+t[x+1]+t[x+2];var a=Console.In.ReadToEnd().Trim().Split('\n').Select(l=>l.Split(' ').Select(int.Parse).ToArray()).ToList();for(;x<18;x++)for(y=0;y<18;m=m>v?m:v)v=f(a[y])*f(a[++y])*f(a[y+1]);Console.Write(m);}}

Readable:

using System;
using System.Linq;
class X
{
    static void Main()
    {
        int m = 0, v, x = 0, y;
        Func<int[], int> f = t => t[x] + t[x + 1] + t[x + 2];
        var a = Console.In.ReadToEnd().Trim().Split('\n').Select(l =>
            l.Split(' ').Select(int.Parse).ToArray()).ToList();
        for (; x < 18; x++)
            for (y = 0; y < 18; m = m > v ? m : v)
                v = f(a[y]) * f(a[++y]) * f(a[y + 1]);
        Console.Write(m);
    }
}

14 characters could be shaved off by removing both calls to .Trim() if you can guarantee that the input will only use \n (no \r) and there is no newline after the last row of numbers.

Edits

  • (333 → 324 chars) Realised I could add x, y to the declaration at the top instead of declaring each in the for statement; that I could change one of the ToArrays to ToList; that I could increment y inside the call to f and thus get rid of it in the for.

  • (324 → 321 chars) Move the assignment to m into the for statement, getting rid of a semicolon and two curlies.

  • (321 → 308 chars) Joey’s suggestions in the comments. Thanks!

  • \$\begingroup\$ The Trim() within the int.Parse call can indeed be dropped (it ignores trailing whitespace) (314). You can then also call Select with just int.Parse as argument; no need for a lambda there anymore (308). I think this could be made shorter by working on a 400-item 1D array instead of the list of arrays as you have it now, but I'm unable to adapt it right now ;-) \$\endgroup\$

  • \$\begingroup\$ Am I doing something wrong? The given code weighs in at 318 bytes here. In any case, the class does not need to be public, you can pull the array declaration of x into the previous line with x[][]=new int[t][t]. You can use a one-dimensional array which simplifies access greatly. You can remove the import and just inline the java.util. twice which is 5 bytes shorter. You can inline e which saves 3 bytes. With all that I got it down to 290 bytes. \$\endgroup\$

Ruby, 106 characters

k=$<.read.split.map &:to_i;p (0..358).map{|a|a%20>17?0:(0..2).map{|i|k[20*i+a,3].inject:+}.inject(:*)}.max

Yet another straightforward solution.

  • Edit: Previous solution produced incorrect results for some edge cases.
  • Edit: (114 -> 106) Use a flat array, check index%20 to prevent overflows into the next row.

Fairly straightforward, actually.

Takes a 20x20 matrix of integers as input. +4 bytes to input as a space and newline separated grid

How it works

+3\€×3\FṀ - Main link. Takes a matrix M on the left
   €      - Over each row r:
 3\       -   Over each overlapping triple:
+         -     Take the sum
     3\   - Over each overlapping triple:
    ×     -   Take the product
       F  - Flatten

Powershell, 103 bytes

(($x=-split($args-replace'(\d+)(?= (\d+) (\d+))','$1+$2+$3')|iex)|%{$_*$x[$j+20]*$x[$j+++40]}|sort)[-1]

Explanation:

  • The regexp transforms each string like 1 2 3 4 5 6 to the string like 1+2+3 2+3+4 3+4+5 5 6;
  • Then the script splits the string 1+2+3 2+3+4 3+4+5 5 6 by spaces and evaluates each element by iex (alias for Invoke-Expression). A result is an array like 6,9,11,5,6;
  • Finally, the script concatenates all arrays to one, calulates a products and returns a maximum.

It is essential that we need a maximum of products of sum of non-negative integers. So we don't need to filter out the last 2 values in each row and last 2 rows.

Less golfed test script

$f = {

$x=-split($args-replace'(\d+)(?= (\d+) (\d+))','$1+$2+$3')|iex
($x|%{$_*$x[$j+20]*$x[$j+++40]}|sort)[-1]

}

The tribute to the smart expression |?{$_%20-le17} in the Joey's answer:

(($x=($y=-split$args)|?{$i++%20-le17}|%{+$y[$i-1]+$y[$i]+$y[$i+1]})|%{$_*$x[$j+18]*$x[$j+++36]}|sort)[-1]

Explanation

L{eL3B{|+mmM{3B{:*mm$|M Input: STDIN, auto split on newlines, pushed to stack
L                       listify the stack
 {        m             map each line to:
 {e       m             evaluate it
   L                    listify the stack
    3B                  overlapping slices of length 3
      {|+m              map those to their sums
