+Advent of Code
+
+--- 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.
