Anders Englöf Ytterström cbd4bf50e1 Solve 2023:04 "Scratchcards"
On a train that according to swedish tradition
was late. Not a good environment to focus.

Got stuck 2 times:

- Initial code asumed the | was always after the 5th
  number, because of the example. Puzzle input had
  it at pos 10. Classic AoC mistake.
- I had a hard time trying to understand the score
  count, I insisted there was meant to be a +1 at
  some point.

  > That means card 1 is worth 8 points (1 for
  > the first match, then doubled three times for
  > each of the three matches after the first)

I should instead have just looked at the numbers.
