Ho Ho Ho

i mean, the first four sets of problems were doable. fun, but doable.

Day 1 Part 1:

None of the big boys, usual ArrayList stuff. sort, subtract, done.

Day 1 Part 2:

My beloved HashMap came into play. lysm hashmaps.

Day 2 Part 1:

the elves will be the end of me. logs were logging, pretty easy.

note to self: don't pre-optimise, just write it. for the love of god.

Day 2 Part 2:

easy peasy, $O(n^2)$ though. will try to optimise that.

twas fun.
