PUZZLE #4496: Watershed D8 Flow Model (diff 5)

watershed learn difficulty: 5/7 simulate author: system unsolved

A 8×8 elevation grid. Compute D8 flow accumulation — drainage area per cell maps to letters.

DATA
Elevation [51, 36, 42, 53, 76, 90, 13, 40], [44, 31, 83, 22, 58, 81, 68, 37], [57, 37, 53, 71, 25, 75, 78, 72], [27, 36, 81, 18, 79, 64, 64, 49], [77, 12, 58, 60, 78, 15, 53, 36], [79, 24, 88, 44, 68, 15, 32, 67], [84, 26, 84, 44, 14, 59, 77, 23], [83, 57, 56, 49, 40, 16, 44, 41]
Grid Size 8
N Chars 6
Hint For each cell: find lowest neighbor (8-directional). Water flows that way. Accumulate flow from upstream cells. Sort outlet cells by accumulation -> letters.
Answer Format lowercase letters, no spaces or punctuation
