 | 06  | [Problem](https://adventofcode.com/2025/day/6)  | [Solution](./cmd/06/) | Part 1 I don't think it is the best solution, but it does solve it. I kicked ass on part 2. 🥳                                                                                                                                              |
 | 07  | [Problem](https://adventofcode.com/2025/day/7)  | [Solution](./cmd/07/) | FIFO for life. 🤣. Fuck me...part 2 I found really difficult and the use of DFS was obvious, but doing the memoizing was not.                                                                                                               |
 | 08  | [Problem](https://adventofcode.com/2025/day/8)  | [Solution](./cmd/08/) | Part 1 had me down bad. I was on the right track with my original solution, but ended up doing it in a brute force way then figuring out my mistake with the original. Fuck this guy. Part 2 was so much easier once part 1 was sorted out. |
