The site actually crashed about 30 seconds past midnight, and was down for around 6 minutes -- much to the alarm of solvers like me, who began furiously resubmitting their solutions, hoping to get through! I've never seen the site go down before; seems like AoC is more popular than ever this year. I wonder if the outage was caused by people running scripts to repeatedly request the Day 1 input. Anyway, huge props to @ericwastl for creating another installment of AoC despite all the craziness this year. It's a much-needed distraction. :)
