Hello everyone!

Looking to test your programming and problem-solving skills this holiday season? "Advent of Code is an Advent calendar of small programming puzzles for a variety of skill levels that can be solved in any programming language you like." Each day, a new challenge is released for people to solve. Those with the most points at the end of the event on December 25 will win.

While there is a global leaderboard that you can compete in, the CSA will also have their own private leaderboard so all of you can compete amongst each other.

2. Login with a GitHub, Google, Twitter or Reddit account
3. Go to https://adventofcode.com/2024/leaderboard/private
4. Enter the code: 4445718-14c07e1c
5. Start solving!

The competition goes from December 1-25, with a new problem every night at 9pm. Learn more at https://adventofcode.com/2024/about
