Summary for those just joining us:
Advent of Code is an annual Christmas themed coding challenge that runs from December 1st until christmas. Each day the coding problems get progressively harder. We have a leaderboard and pretty good turnout, so feel free to hop in at any time and show your stuff!
Whether you have a single line monstrosity or a beautiful phone book sized stack of OOP code, you can export it in a nice little image for sharing at https://carbon.vercel.app
What did you think about today's problem?
Our Code is 2416137-393b284c (No need to share your profile, you have the option to join anonymously if you don't want us to see your github)

He owed us after yesterday. I was worried that he might add diagonals for part 2 but I think he's made us do that in other years.

Pretty easy today, for part 2 just replaced the string comparison using ==, for my own function that allows exactly one char to be not equal.

Unlucky indeed if you fuck up in at least one of the many ways provided :/ Albeit to be honest I have mainly myself to blame, especially after boasting about writing careful, stupid-mistakes-proof code, and then not doing that today.
I'm especially bitter about part two. It required changing literally three lines trivially, yet I managed to make a stupid logic mistake (allowing s == 0 unconditionally) and wasted 8 minutes on it.

I did the opposite where I accidentally treated s=0 as my unassigned case and also spent about 8 minutes on it

Seemed fairly easy today, yesterday was heck. Glad it didn't involve any string manipulation, I'm finding Nim really lacking in that regard.

I haven't finished yesterday's yet, I had to do a 10pm pivot to recursive in the hope that p2 would finish and I'm still bug fixing. Today's better be easy.

I'm eepy tired today and couldn't be bothered being clever since it was easy enough to brute force with awful frankensteined code

It took me hours just to understand the question and many more hours to finally write something that ended up being extremely simple

FUUUUUUUUUUU---
Never has my skill issue been so bluntly been shown to me as when I try to do these in C.
I finished part 1 example then clicked the real list & it's variable width which screws up my whole shit. I'm sure it's not that big a deal but fml
