#AdventOfCode day 6 only took me like 5 minutes (compared to yesterday's hour+). Slightly worried about tomorrow.
The parsing for Advent of Code today was so much trickier than the actual answer finding. Great fun though, glad I decided to take part this year.
Messy solutions are on my GitHub for the curious.
Really been struggling to sleep this week. Maybe it's finally time to pull up some videos about bitshifting or something. I reckon that'll have me snoring inside of ten minutes.

@foxylad Yes, this has been around a long time and isn't it great, what you can do with Python out of the box?
Current #Python version also cover this use case with fstrings. And don't care, if you send in the number 44 or the string '44', they both work.
If you are not very familiar with all the stuff you can do with them, https://fstring.help/ has an overview.
