I'm really enjoying stretching my brain, but I can definitely see why people start to duck out of solving the whole advent. + +I'm lucky enough to have relatively uninterrupted personal time. But unlucky enough to be rarely (if ever) expose to this kind of problem solving so it definitely feels rusty. + +Glad I was able to find time. Still glad to be working in Ruby. Now I _definitely_ feel limited by my mental abilities rather than my ability to solve the problem. + +I definitely made use of the `pry` gem to step-through some failing tests and examine what was happening. + +Had to take a proper step back today, and pseudo-code what I wanted, and then re-implement it. Real rubber-duck coding. + + +[Link to GitHub](https://github.com/thomaswilsonxyz/advent-of-code-2025/tree/main/day-3) \ No newline at end of file
