    To keep my algorithmic thinking in shape, I have completed all Advent of Code tasks since 2015.
    The popular AOC programming contests take place every year between the 1st and 25th of December and consist of 25 increasingly difficult algorithmic problems, one each day. The hardest ones are usually about finding a smart way to reduce the algorithmic complexity of a seemingly impossible task.
