Winning Google Kickstart 2021 Round A - with Problem Explanations!

Google Kickstart is a programming contest run roughly monthly by Google, designed to introduce more people to algorithms and problem solving. The problems are introductory level, but it's still a big challenge to be fast! This is the second round in a row which I've won, after Round H from last year (https://youtu.be/G47tDfgCTsE).

You can find the problems, scoreboard and official solutions at https://codingcompetitions.withgoogle.com/kickstart/round/0000000000436140.
