I just completed "LAN Party" - Day 23 - Advent of Code 2024 adventofcode.com/2024/day/23 #AdventOfCode Thanks for the network clue Eric! I went straight for `networkx` to solve today's puzzle. Fiendish as ever, I feel the Historian is within my grasp!

I just completed "Monkey Market" - Day 22 - Advent of Code 2024 adventofcode.com/2024/day/22 #AdventOfCode Ah ha! Monkeys make merry… that proved rather simpler than first expected! Even part 2 wasn't too bad. Just on my wavelength today, I guess.😁

I just completed "Keypad Conundrum" - Day 21 - Advent of Code 2024 adventofcode.com/2024/day/21 #AdventOfCode Well, that's my brain fried! Trying to work out all those levels of interaction had me mystified for the day. I had to look for some clues on t'net… sigh.

I just completed "Race Condition" - Day 20 - Advent of Code 2024 adventofcode.com/2024/day/20 #AdventOfCode The wrong garden path: I spent most of the day wandering around! On the bright side, when part 2 came along, I hardly needed to change anything to get the correct result!

I just completed "Linen Layout" - Day 19 - Advent of Code 2024 adventofcode.com/2024/day/19 #AdventOfCode Hooray for trees! Yesterday I overanticipated part 2… today I WAY underestimated part 2. Crikey! I'll avoid coloured stripes from now on. 😃

I just completed "RAM Run" - Day 18 - Advent of Code 2024 adventofcode.com/2024/day/18 #AdventOfCode Yes, I fell asleep. But when I awoke, this one wasn't so bad (for me). Perhaps I should revisit some previous ones in a new light. Yeah.

I just completed "Reindeer Maze" - Day 16 - Advent of Code 2024 adventofcode.com/2024/day/16 #AdventOfCode Phew, I just got that done in time to get ready for day 18! I may well fall asleep again. 😂🤣

I just completed "Chronospatial Computer" - Day 17 - Advent of Code 2024 adventofcode.com/2024/day/17 #AdventOfCode Hmm, not quite IntCode, but… hello! There's a part two twist I didn't expect. Nice one Eric! Yesterday was too busy, I'll get back to day 16.

I just completed "Warehouse Woes" - Day 15 - Advent of Code 2024 adventofcode.com/2024/day/15 #AdventOfCode Nope, I didn't like part two one tiny bit. Woes indeed; I seemed to do everything wrong today. Harbouring a migraine probably didn't help: major typos in everything.

I just completed "Garden Groups" - Day 12 - Advent of Code 2024 adventofcode.com/2024/day/12 #AdventOfCode At last! Part 2 had me going through too many different attempts; I saw the blue about corners, but that didn't help much for a long time. 🙃

I just completed "Restroom Redoubt" - Day 14 - Advent of Code 2024 adventofcode.com/2024/day/14 #AdventOfCode [sigh] I caught sight of a hint about part 2 when I was posting before, so I had a head start on that. I don't think I'd have done anything like so well otherwise!

I just completed "Claw Contraption" - Day 13 - Advent of Code 2024 adventofcode.com/2024/day/13 #AdventOfCode Now, day 12 remains incomplete. I had a heavy day going out yesterday, so I've just done 13. Now I have to look at 14 before going back to 12. Confused? You will be… :)

I just completed "Plutonian Pebbles" - Day 11 - Advent of Code 2024 adventofcode.com/2024/day/11 #AdventOfCode After the stresses of yesterday's funeral, I kept falling asleep today… but after abundant head-scratching for part two, I'm finally done. Nice one Eric! 😉

I just completed "Hoof It" - Day 10 - Advent of Code 2024 adventofcode.com/2024/day/10 #AdventOfCode It was a sad day: my brother's funeral. However, starting to search for routes for reindeer proved to be a pleasant diversion. Interestingly, I'd almost done part 2 before part 1!

I just completed "Disk Fragmenter" - Day 9 - Advent of Code 2024 adventofcode.com/2024/day/9 #AdventOfCode So I did the first part this morning and then went out for the day. I almost forgot about it. I just topped it off now. My brother's funeral is tomorrow; different priorities.

I just completed "Resonant Collinearity" - Day 8 - Advent of Code 2024 adventofcode.com/2024/day/8 #AdventOfCode Cool finished it within the first half hour. That resonates nicely with my pleasure principles. I might even get some more shut-eye before going to church! :)
