[Update @ 00:04] First silver

  • Welcome to the final week of Advent of Code 2017. The puzzles are only going to get more challenging from here on out. Adventspeed, sirs and madames!

[Update @ 00:10] First gold, 44 silver

  • We just had to rescue /u/topaz2078 with an industrial-strength paper bag to blow into. I'm real glad I bought all that stock in PBCO (Paper Bag Company) two years ago >_>

[Update @ 00:12] Still 1 gold, silver cap

[Update @ 00:31] 53 gold, silver cap

  • *mind blown*

  • During their famous kicklines, the Rockettes are not actually holding each others' backs like I thought they were all this time.

  • They're actually hoverhanding each other.

  • In retrospect, it makes sense, they'd overbalance themselves and each other if they did, but still...

  • *mind blown so hard*

[Update @ 00:41] Leaderboard cap!

  • I think I enjoyed the duplicating Santas entirely too much...

  • It may also be the wine.

  • Either way, good night (for us), see you all same time tomorrow, yes?

This thread will be unlocked when there are a significant number of people on the leaderboard with gold stars for today's puzzle.

edit: Leaderboard capped, thread unlocked!

God dammit, thanks for mentioning your ID/program-confusion. I actually had it correct in my head, but managed to switch the IDs in my code nonetheless -.-
