console.log('Hello World')
Is that possible? Maybe it's just me, but I can't see the actual challenge.
Only the example and explanation is visible
It doesn't let people solve it without logging in since everyone gets randomized inputs rather than the same ones. You can still technically do the challenge, just cant use your solution on the large block of input
That also looks like the day 1 of 2015
Oh yeah, it is from 2015 π€
You can still technically do the challenge
How? With the examples?
yeah with the example code on the page. With 2023 day 1 its one large block rather than broken up like it is there
You may be able to find a repository of example inputs and outputs to work with, but thatβs generally frowned upon since organizing AOC involves so much work.
Eh... nvm then. Thanks for the information.
Just create a throwaway account
I don't see the point in that. It would seem like marketing or ads - an account just to talk about my personal projects? Nah...
They need an account because you get randomized inputs, and the solution goes with your inputs. They could've rolled out their own username/password auth, but that's more work and you need to secure the passwords, handle resets, etc. OAuth is 100% the correct move here, and they ask for very minimal info.
