This month is the MUG Advent of Code presentation.

We've done this a couple of times in the past.

There's a programming website called *Advent of Code*:
https://adventofcode.com

It's an Advent calendar of 12 small programming puzzles for a variety of
skill
sets and levels that can be solved in any programming language you like.

You can see the first puzzle at https://adventofcode.com/2025/day/1.

We need some volunteers to help us solve the day-1 puzzle in whatever
language you'd like.

Last year we saw solutions using C++, Lua, Pandas, Racket, Rust, Perl,
vim9script, Awk, SQL, Zig, Python and Swift.

Lets see if we can do it again this year.

We only need you to solve the first puzzle, parts A and B.

We should be able to get through each language in 5-15 minutes. Hopefully
that'll
allow enough time to explain how the solution works.

We've created a GitHub repo so we can collaborate and share:
https://github.com/MichiganUnixUserGroup/MUG-2026-03-10-Advent-of-Code

If you'd like to volunteer, clone the repo or join us at the meeting and
show us how you've solved the puzzle using your favorite language.

Also, as we've been doing the last several months, we'll be doing a short
presentation on a Unix/Linux topic. This month it'll be the *lsof* command
which lists open files (and sockets and other things). This will be a great
opportunity to learn about lsof and if you already use it, you can share
what you know about it.
