52+ # Part Two
53+ Just as you're about to report your findings to the Elf, one of you realizes that the rules have actually been printed
54+ on the back of every card this whole time.
55+
56+ There's no such thing as "points". Instead, scratchcards only cause you to ** win more scratchcards** equal to the
57+ number of winning numbers you have.
58+
59+ Specifically, you win ** copies** of the scratchcards below the winning card equal to the number of matches. So, if
60+ card ` 10 ` were to have ` 5 ` matching numbers, you would win one copy each of cards ` 11 ` , ` 12 ` , ` 13 ` , ` 14 ` , and ` 15 ` .
61+
62+ Copies of scratchcards are scored like normal scratchcards and have the ** same card number** as the card they copied.
63+ So, if you win a copy of card ` 10 ` and it has ` 5 ` matching numbers, it would then win a copy of the same cards that
64+ the original card ` 10 ` won: cards ` 11 ` , ` 12 ` , ` 13 ` , ` 14 ` , and ` 15 ` . This process repeats until none of the copies
65+ cause you to win any more cards. (Cards will never make you copy a card past the end of the table.)
66+
67+ This time, the above example goes differently:
68+ ```
69+ Card 1: 41 48 83 86 17 | 83 86 6 31 17 9 48 53
70+ Card 2: 13 32 20 16 61 | 61 30 68 82 17 32 24 19
71+ Card 3: 1 21 53 59 44 | 69 82 63 72 16 21 14 1
72+ Card 4: 41 92 73 84 69 | 59 84 76 51 58 5 54 83
73+ Card 5: 87 83 26 28 32 | 88 30 70 12 93 22 82 36
74+ Card 6: 31 18 13 56 72 | 74 77 10 23 35 67 36 11
75+ ```
76+ * Card ` 1 ` has four matching numbers, so you win one copy each of the next four cards: cards ` 2 ` , ` 3 ` , ` 4 ` , and ` 5 ` .
77+ * Your original card ` 2 ` has two matching numbers, so you win one copy each of cards ` 3 ` and ` 4 ` .
78+ * Your copy of card ` 2 ` also wins one copy each of cards ` 3 ` and ` 4 ` .
79+ * Your four instances of card ` 3 ` (one original and three copies) have two matching numbers, so you win four copies
80+ each of cards ` 4 ` and ` 5 ` .
81+ * Your eight instances of card ` 4 ` (one original and seven copies) have one matching number, so you win eight copies of
82+ card ` 5 ` .
83+ * Your fourteen instances of card ` 5 ` (one original and thirteen copies) have no matching numbers and win no more cards.
84+ * Your one instance of card ` 6 ` (one original) has no matching numbers and wins no more cards.
85+
86+ Once all of the originals and copies have been processed, you end up with ` 1 ` instance of card ` 1 ` , ` 2 ` instances of
87+ card ` 2 ` , ` 4 ` instances of card ` 3 ` , ` 8 ` instances of card ` 4 ` , ` 14 ` instances of card ` 5 ` , and ` 1 ` instance of card
88+ ` 6 ` . In total, this example pile of scratchcards causes you to ultimately have ` 30 ` scratchcards!
89+
90+ Process all of the original and copied scratchcards until no more scratchcards are won. Including the original set of
91+ scratchcards, ** how many total scratchcards do you end up with** ?
