I am caught up on Python solutions for Advent of Code. It's been hampered by catching up on grading web page projects and entering grades for the end of the grading period. As soon as I finish some drone code I hope to go back and continue the Java write ups.

I dread writing up Day 13. It's so simple to solve in Python and it makes it painful to solve in Java. If I had some advanced AP CSA students I would provide Day 12 as a holiday project (+hints.)

While I have completed my solution to Day 11 of Advent of Code, I have not completed the writeup and do not recommend it for AP CSA students. https://github.com/scerruti/AoC2022/blob/main/src/Day11.java

I could not solve this on my own because I could not figure out the part 2 worry reduction computation. I understand why the answer is a correct answer, but I do not know how people came up with it. If you have insight, please share it with me.

Advent of Code Day 3 is excellent if you have students who want practice with Java String methods. I am using the Code.org CSA course so I created a template and a solution for use on Code.org's Java Lab.
