Advent of Code[1] often has problems that might seem just a bit too much to bruteforce, or not, depending on your background and language at hand. Many of them are bruteforceable enough that I ended up setting races: run a bruteforce in the background while I try to write a less naive solution. Kinda fun, but I also found out that many of the problems are a bit too easy to bruteforce (with C on a modern CPU), taking something like 10-15 minutes.
