Had something similar happen to me, ran out of time on the last part too. Feels like the format is built for that tbh.

Yeah the dependency tracking part seemed to come up a lot when I went through prep threads too, sounds like it trips a lot of people up.

Which part did you get stuck on exactly, the cascade logic itself or just running out of time?

Cascade logic itself honestly, kept second guessing whether I was tracking both directions right before time just ran out.

Does it have to be Python or can you use whatever language you want?

Python only from what I saw, didn't see an option to switch.

Was part 2 the cascading failure / cascading success ? What was part 3?

Rough, sorry man. Hope the next one goes better.
