Oh, hello! Funny seeing you here.
I appreciate your enthusiasm, but you aren't going to find much down here.
There certainly aren't clues to any of the puzzles. The best surprises don't
even appear in the source until you unlock them for real.
Please be careful with automated requests; I'm not a massive company, and I can
only take so much traffic. Please be considerate so that everyone gets to play.
If you're curious about how Advent of Code works, it's running on some custom
Perl code. Other than a few integrations (auth, analytics, social media), I
built the whole thing myself, including the design, animations, prose, and all
of the puzzles.
The puzzles are most of the work; preparing a new calendar and a new set of
puzzles each year takes all of my free time for 4-5 months. A lot of effort
went into building this thing - I hope you're enjoying playing it as much as I
enjoyed making it for you!
If you'd like to hang out, I'm @[email protected] on Mastodon and
@ericwastl on Twitter.

<article class="day-desc"><h2>--- Day 4: Secure Container ---</h2><p>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 <span title="Look on the bright side - isn't it more secure if nobody knows the password?">threw it out</span>.</p>
<p>However, they do remember a few key facts about the password:</p>
<ul>
<li>It is a six-digit number.</li>
<li>The value is within the range given in your puzzle input.</li>
<li>Two adjacent digits are the same (like <code>22</code> in <code>1<em>22</em>345</code>).</li>
<li>Going from left to right, the digits <em>never decrease</em>; they only ever increase or stay the same (like <code>111123</code> or <code>135679</code>).</li>
</ul>
<p>Other than the range rule, the following are true:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>111111</code> meets these criteria (double <code>11</code>, never decreases).</li>
<li><code>2234<em>50</em></code> does not meet these criteria (decreasing pair of digits <code>50</code>).</li>
<li><code>123789</code> does not meet these criteria (no double).</li>
</ul>
<p><em>How many different passwords</em> within the range given in your puzzle input meet these criteria?</p>
</article>
<p>Your puzzle answer was <code>1675</code>.</p><article class="day-desc"><h2 id="part2">--- Part Two ---</h2><p>An Elf just remembered one more important detail: the two adjacent matching digits <em>are not part of a larger group of matching digits</em>.</p>
<p>Given this additional criterion, but still ignoring the range rule, the following are now true:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>112233</code> meets these criteria because the digits never decrease and all repeated digits are exactly two digits long.</li>
<li><code>123<em>444</em></code> no longer meets the criteria (the repeated <code>44</code> is part of a larger group of <code>444</code>).</li>
<li><code>111122</code> meets the criteria (even though <code>1</code> is repeated more than twice, it still contains a double <code>22</code>).</li>
</ul>
<p><em>How many different passwords</em> within the range given in your puzzle input meet all of the criteria?</p>
</article>
<p>Your puzzle answer was <code>1142</code>.</p><p class="day-success">Both parts of this puzzle are complete! They provide two gold stars: **</p>
<p>At this point, you should <a href="/2019">return to your Advent calendar</a> and try another puzzle.</p>
