+--- Part Two ---
+
+As the race is about to start, you realize the piece of paper with race times
+and record distances you got earlier actually just has very bad kerning. There's
+really only one race - ignore the spaces between the numbers on each line.
+
+So, the example from before:
+
+```
+Time:      7  15   30
+Distance:  9  40  200
+```
+
+...now instead means this:
+
+```
+Time:      71530
+Distance:  940200
+```
+
+Now, you have to figure out how many ways there are to win this single race. In
+this example, the race lasts for 71530 milliseconds and the record distance you
+need to beat is 940200 millimeters. You could hold the button anywhere from 14
+to 71516 milliseconds and beat the record, a total of 71503 ways!
+
+How many ways can you beat the record in this one much longer race?
