\"Advent of Code is an Advent calendar of small programming puzzles for \r\na variety of skill sets and skill levels that can be solved in any \r\nprogramming language you like. People use them as a speed contest, \r\ninterview prep, company training, university coursework, practice \r\nproblems, or to challenge each other.\r\n\r\nYou don't need a computer science background to participate - just a \r\nlittle programming knowledge and some problem solving skills will get \r\nyou pretty far. Nor do you need a fancy computer; every problem has a \r\nsolution that completes in at most 15 seconds on ten-year-old hardware.\"<\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
