+--- Day 1: No Time for a Taxicab ---
+
+   Santa's sleigh uses a very high-precision clock to guide its movements, and the clock's oscillator is regulated
+   by stars. Unfortunately, the stars have been stolen... by the Easter Bunny. To save Christmas, Santa needs you
+   to retrieve all fifty stars by December 25th.
+
+   Collect stars by solving puzzles. Two puzzles will be made available on each day in the advent calendar; the
+   second puzzle is unlocked when you complete the first. Each puzzle grants one star. Good luck!
+
+   You're airdropped near Easter Bunny Headquarters in a city somewhere. "Near", unfortunately, is as close as you
+   can get - the instructions on the Easter Bunny Recruiting Document the Elves intercepted start here, and nobody
+   had time to work them out further.
+
+   The Document indicates that you should start at the given coordinates (where you just landed) and face North.
+   Then, follow the provided sequence: either turn left (L) or right (R) 90 degrees, then walk forward the given
+   number of blocks, ending at a new intersection.
+
+   There's no time to follow such ridiculous instructions on foot, though, so you take a moment and work out the
+   destination. Given that you can only walk on the street grid of the city, how far is the shortest path to the
+   destination?
+
+   For example:
+
+     • Following R2, L3 leaves you 2 blocks East and 3 blocks North, or 5 blocks away.
+     • R2, R2, R2 leaves you 2 blocks due South of your starting position, which is 2 blocks away.
+     • R5, L5, R5, R3 leaves you 12 blocks away.
+
+   How many blocks away is Easter Bunny HQ?
+
+   To begin, get your puzzle input.
