Advent of Code - Day 4 & 5

12/5/2024 7:53 am | : 1 min.

I forgot to make a post after Day 4, but I solved it after a few headaches. Day 5 is, as of this posting, half way complete. I got a late start and forced myself to stop at 12:30am to go to sleep since I have work today. I am confident I can complete it after work before starting Day 6. I may try to make tonight a "as fast as I can" finish just to see how I do. Which means starting at 9pm on the dot and going at it. I have no illusions I will remain out of the top 100, but I am hoping to get in the first 2,500 to finish it.

We'll see. If not tonight, I am determined for one of these days to try and do it "competitively.

Cry Uncle and Loose the Dogs of War

Had to cry uncle and give up on solving part 2 of Day 5 for Advent Of Code. I tried to solve it with a more elegant way and then when I couldn't figure that out, I tried to brute force it and couldn't get there. Unfortunately I need to cook dinner and do other things before tonight's new puzzle.

I'll go looking at other peoples' solutions to see how they did it after dinner. Bummed to already hit one I couldn't solve, but it's a reminder there's always more to learn.
