Solutions for Advent of Code

Felt paranoid on this one, was expecting something
much worse for pt2.
The code that solved the puzzle was _extremely_
naive:
- It asumes puzzle input only contains mul() with
1-3 chars. The versioned code have `{1,3}` as safe
guard.
- p2 asumed initial chunk does not begin with
"n't". Would have been easy to handle though.
- p2 asumed junk strings as "don", "do", "don()t"
would not exist.
In other words, I was really lucky since I did not
look that closely on puzzle input beforehand.
Might have cut 60-90 seconds further if I had just
ran pt2 immidately instead of staring dumbly on the
test data (that changed for pt2).
Also, I got reminded that \d in regular expressions
is equal to `0-9`: it does not include commas and
punctations. The code that solved the puzzle was
paranoid and instead used `0-9`.
Managed to score ~1500th somehow despite this.

Advent of Code 2015–
Here all solved puzzles for Advent of Code are kept for reference. Most solutions are written in Python, but there are also solutions written in Elixir.
- Initial runs from 2016–2020 are squashed in version control, so the original thoughts/rants about the solution are forgotten for future generations.
- 2021 onwards, each solution will have a separate commit. This also includes revisiting old events.
Where are the puzzle input files?
For many years, this repository had all puzzle inputs under version control. They are not anymore, although the scripts asumed they are downloaded and stored locally in a subdirectory, which is ignored by version control.
The reasons:
- Neither you or me do have permission to reproduce or redistribute them, they are not released under public domain or MIT/BSD/GPL or any other license.
- The author behind advent of code have kindly asked us who attend Advent of Code to not release them, since publiced puzzle inputs cen be used to copy the site and steal the AoC creator's work.
