After finishing Problem 83 with Dijkstra, I came back here to try this problem also with Dijkstra. It is interesting how the difference in the size constraint makes it implausible to construct the graph in advance. Doing so results in Runtime Error in Python for the last 3 test cases, which I suppose is related to the memory-heavy nature of dict data type.
It is also noticeable that using Dijkstra is not necessarily faster than a naive loop-the-whole-thing-until-nothing-can-be-changed approach.
