--- Day 1: Report Repair ---
|
|
|
|
After saving Christmas five years in a row, you've decided to take a vacation at a nice
|
|
resort on a tropical island. Surely, Christmas will go on without you.
|
|
|
|
The tropical island has its own currency and is entirely cash-only. The gold coins used
|
|
there have a little picture of a starfish; the locals just call them stars. None of the
|
|
currency exchanges seem to have heard of them, but somehow, you'll need to find fifty of
|
|
these coins by the time you arrive so you can pay the deposit on your room.
|
|
|
|
To save your vacation, you need to get 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!
|
|
|
|
Before you leave, the Elves in accounting just need you to fix your expense report (your
|
|
puzzle input); apparently, something isn't quite adding up.
|
|
|
|
Specifically, they need you to find the two entries that sum to 2020 and then multiply
|
|
those two numbers together.
|
|
|
|
For example, suppose your expense report contained the following:
|
|
|
|
1721
|
|
979
|
|
366
|
|
299
|
|
675
|
|
1456
|
|
|
|
In this list, the two entries that sum to 2020 are 1721 and 299. Multiplying them together
|
|
produces 1721 * 299 = 514579, so the correct answer is 514579.
|
|
|
|
Of course, your expense report is much larger. Find the two entries that sum to 2020; what
|
|
do you get if you multiply them together?
|
|
|
|
Your puzzle answer was 157059.
|
|
|
|
--- Part Two ---
|
|
|
|
The Elves in accounting are thankful for your help; one of them even offers you a starfish
|
|
coin they had left over from a past vacation. They offer you a second one if you can find
|
|
three numbers in your expense report that meet the same criteria.
|
|
|
|
Using the above example again, the three entries that sum to 2020 are 979, 366, and 675.
|
|
Multiplying them together produces the answer, 241861950.
|
|
|
|
In your expense report, what is the product of the three entries that sum to 2020?
|
|
|
|
Your puzzle answer was 165080960.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
If you still want to see it, you can get your puzzle input.
