AOC 2022. Day 8: Treetop Tree House

— Day 8: Treetop Tree House — The expedition comes across a peculiar patch of tall trees all planted carefully in a grid. The Elves explain that a previous expedition planted these trees as a reforestation effort. Now, they’re curious if this would be a good location for a tree house. First, determine whether there is enough tree cover here to keep a tree house hidden. To do this, you need to count the number of trees that are visible from outside the grid when looking directly along a row or column....

AOC 2022. Day 6: Tuning Trouble

— Day 6: Tuning Trouble — The preparations are finally complete; you and the Elves leave camp on foot and begin to make your way toward the star fruit grove. As you move through the dense undergrowth, one of the Elves gives you a handheld device. He says that it has many fancy features, but the most important one to set up right now is the communication system. However, because he’s heard you have significant experience dealing with signal-based systems, he convinced the other Elves that it would be okay to give you their one malfunctioning device - surely you’ll have no problem fixing it....

https://adventofcode.com/2022/day/5 — Day 5: Supply Stacks — The expedition can depart as soon as the final supplies have been unloaded from the ships.

The ship has a giant cargo crane capable of moving crates between stacks. To ensure none of the crates get crushed or fall over, the crane operator will rearrange them in a series of carefully-planned steps....

However, as some of the Elves compare their section assignments with each other, they’ve noticed that many of the assignments overlap....

AOC 2022. Day 1: Calorie Counting

Santa’s reindeer typically eat regular reindeer food, but they need a lot of magical energy to deliver presents on Christmas. For that, their favorite snack is a special type of star fruit that only grows deep in the jungle. The Elves have brought you on their annual expedition to the grove where the fruit grows. To supply enough magical energy, the expedition needs to retrieve a minimum of fifty stars by December 25th....
