Zoomers don't matter. Young people don't vote. Elections are decided by adults, and the average age of high political activity in America is from the 50 And over crowd.

This isn't the most performant or elegant, it's the first one that worked. I have 3 kids and a full time job. If I get through any of these, it'll be first pass through and first try that gets the correct answer.

Part 1 was very easy, just iterated the string checking if the char was a digit. Ditto for the last, by reversing the string. Part 2 was also not super hard, I settled on re-using the iterative approach, checking each string lookup value first (on a substring of the current char), and if the current char isn't the start of a word, then checking if the char was a digit. Getting the last number required reversing the string and the lookup map.

Part 1:

var list = new List((await File.ReadAllLinesAsync(@".\Day 1\PuzzleInput.txt")));

int total = 0;
foreach (var item in list)
{
    //forward
    string digit1 = string.Empty;
    string digit2 = string.Empty;


    foreach (var c in item)
    {
        if ((int)c >= 48 && (int)c <= 57)
        {
            digit1 += c;
        
            break;
        }
    }
    //reverse
    foreach (var c in item.Reverse())
    {
        if ((int)c >= 48 && (int)c <= 57)
        {
            digit2 += c;

            break;
        }

    }
    total += Int32.Parse(digit1 +digit2);
}

Console.WriteLine(total);

Part 2:

var list = new List((await File.ReadAllLinesAsync(@".\Day 1\PuzzleInput.txt")));
var numbers = new Dictionary() {
    {"one" ,   1}
    ,{"two" ,  2}
    ,{"three" , 3}
    ,{"four" , 4}
    ,{"five" , 5}
    ,{"six" , 6}

};
int total = 0;

string digit2 = string.Empty;
foreach (var item in list)
{
    //forward
    digit1 = getDigit(item, numbers);
    digit2 = getDigit(new string(item.Reverse().ToArray()), numbers.ToDictionary(k => new string(k.Key.Reverse().ToArray()), k => k.Value));
    total += Int32.Parse(digit1 + digit2);
}

Console.WriteLine(total);

string getDigit(string item,                 Dictionary numbers)
{
    int index = 0;
    int digit = 0;
    foreach (var c in item)
    {
        var sub = item.AsSpan(index++);
        foreach(var n in numbers)
        {
            if (sub.StartsWith(n.Key))
            {
                digit = n.Value;
                goto end;
            }
        }

        if ((int)c >= 48 && (int)c <= 57)
        {
            digit = ((int)c) - 48;
            break;
        }
    }
    end:

unpaid work

This is like whining that a journalist doing a crossword puzzle is "unpaid work" because they use words at their day job.

None of these puzzles are remotely like actual work. It's for fun. Can't you just have fun for a couple hours?

CIA is an initialism, not an acronym, since you pronounce each letter individually.

What you sir are suggesting is a complete erasure of initialisms, and I will not stand for it.

Its still sugar, Berries are just carbohydrates and water.

You can write it in whatever language you want, as long as it's rust.

When you leave Ontario for Quebec, the road signs become incomprehensible.

That's really only because the U.S. government is set up all stupid to give the religious nut jobs over-representation. The House is capped at 435. It should be way bigger so bigger states with bigger populations had significanrly more represtatives than the tiny ones.

Sounds like a real pain in the ass.

Toronto is not nearly as bad as people whinge about it. Take a trip to LA and try to drive 10km in any direction. You'll be praying to be back on the 401 creeping forward slowly.
