Advent of Code 2019

As usual, I'm late. Advent of Code has started on December 1 every year since 2015, yet somehow, I always end up behind. I've done a few of the exercises from previous years, so I want to at least get through some of these for 2019 while they're actually going on.

As this is now December 5th, I've managed to make it through Day 3. Or at least the first half of it. As of right now, Day 6 goes live in about 2 1/2 hours, so I need to do a little bit of catching up.

The first couple of days weren't too tough. Day 2 was a bit of a brute-force solution, and I think Day 3 is shaping up that way so far. My initial solution for Day 3 Part 1 took over an hour to complete! I want to make this a bit smoother and faster.

Regardless, I want to try to keep up with these. Or at least complete all of 2019. And then go back to previous years. Some of these puzzles aren't ideal for ColdFusion, but these are still some pretty good exercises.

So I need to catch up.
