|
|
--- Day 4: Secure Container ---
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
You arrive at the Venus fuel depot only to discover it's protected by a password. The Elves had written the
|
|||
|
|
password on a sticky note, but someone threw it out.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
However, they do remember a few key facts about the password:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
• It is a six-digit number.
|
|||
|
|
• The value is within the range given in your puzzle input.
|
|||
|
|
• Two adjacent digits are the same (like 22 in 122345).
|
|||
|
|
• Going from left to right, the digits never decrease; they only ever increase or stay the same (like 111123 or
|
|||
|
|
135679).
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Other than the range rule, the following are true:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
• 111111 meets these criteria (double 11, never decreases).
|
|||
|
|
• 223450 does not meet these criteria (decreasing pair of digits 50).
|
|||
|
|
• 123789 does not meet these criteria (no double).
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
How many different passwords within the range given in your puzzle input meet these criteria?
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Your puzzle answer was 1716.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
--- Part Two ---
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
An Elf just remembered one more important detail: the two adjacent matching digits are not part of a larger group
|
|||
|
|
of matching digits.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Given this additional criterion, but still ignoring the range rule, the following are now true:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
• 112233 meets these criteria because the digits never decrease and all repeated digits are exactly two digits
|
|||
|
|
long.
|
|||
|
|
• 123444 no longer meets the criteria (the repeated 44 is part of a larger group of 444).
|
|||
|
|
• 111122 meets the criteria (even though 1 is repeated more than twice, it still contains a double 22).
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
How many different passwords within the range given in your puzzle input meet all of the criteria?
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Your puzzle answer was 1163.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Both parts of this puzzle are complete! They provide two gold stars: **
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
At this point, you should return to your Advent calendar and try another puzzle.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Your puzzle input was 165432-707912.
