Rules/Guidelines

Follow the programming.dev instance rules
Keep all content related to advent of code in some way
If what youre posting relates to a day, put in brackets the year and then day number in front of the post title (e.g. [2024 Day 10])
When an event is running, keep solutions in the solution megathread to avoid the community getting spammed with posts

Day 6: Wait for It

Megathread guidelines

Keep top level comments as only solutions, if you want to say something other than a solution put it in a new post. (replies to comments can be whatever)
Code block support is not fully rolled out yet but likely will be in the middle of the event. Try to share solutions as both code blocks and using something such as https://topaz.github.io/paste/ , pastebin, or github (code blocks to future proof it for when 0.19 comes out and since code blocks currently function in some apps and some instances as well if they are running a 0.19 beta)

Today's problems felt really refreshing after yesterday.
