Hi @everyone

Our annual Advent of code starts in <t:1701406800:R>!

Advent of code is an advent calendar of coding puzzles.
These start off easy enough that ye can do it in pen and paper and slowly ramps up as Christmas approaches.
It features a fun, humorous story line to give context.

Past puzzles have involved creating a working computer (2019) and a 6x40 1 bit TV screen.
Someone even ran [Bad Apple](<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EevY4szGgQI>) on that TV
A few folks I know do all 25 days in excel.

Its a good opportunity to explore a new language or to polish an older one.

Full details can be found in the forum where we will have a daily post: https://discord.com/channels/689189992417067052/1049057874925604975/1049057874925604975
