+--- Day 3: Mull It Over ---
+
+   "Our computers are having issues, so I have no idea if we have any Chief
+   Historians in stock! You're welcome to check the warehouse, though," says
+   the mildly flustered shopkeeper at the [16]North Pole Toboggan Rental
+   Shop. The Historians head out to take a look.
+
+   The shopkeeper turns to you. "Any chance you can see why our computers are
+   having issues again?"
+
+   The computer appears to be trying to run a program, but its memory (your
+   puzzle input) is corrupted. All of the instructions have been jumbled up!
+
+   It seems like the goal of the program is just to multiply some numbers. It
+   does that with instructions like mul(X,Y), where X and Y are each 1-3
+   digit numbers. For instance, mul(44,46) multiplies 44 by 46 to get a
+   result of 2024. Similarly, mul(123,4) would multiply 123 by 4.
+
+   However, because the program's memory has been corrupted, there are also
+   many invalid characters that should be ignored, even if they look like
+   part of a mul instruction. Sequences like mul(4*, mul(6,9!, ?(12,34), or
+   mul ( 2 , 4 ) do nothing.
+
+   For example, consider the following section of corrupted memory:
+
+ xmul(2,4)%&mul[3,7]!@^do_not_mul(5,5)+mul(32,64]then(mul(11,8)mul(8,5))
+
+   Only the four highlighted sections are real mul instructions. Adding up
+   the result of each instruction produces 161 (2*4 + 5*5 + 11*8 + 8*5).
+
+   Scan the corrupted memory for uncorrupted mul instructions. What do you
+   get if you add up all of the results of the multiplications?
+
+   To begin, [17]get your puzzle input.
