I'll have to come by again tomorrow, but I must say the design of the site is beautiful . The content is immediately clear, and as you look closer it's clear that the author put some very subtle design touches on, but they aren't overwhelming. Well done!

> This year I need to make sure I do the graph search problems properly I'm guessing this year it might be some other 'common theme' for the tasks, and we might not see as many graph-problems as in 2016. But learning graph searches cannot hurt you either way :)
Are there any good resources you'd recommend on learning how to effectively work with/search graphs?
So, what are people gonna work in? Anything interesting? I am myself thinking about doing the challanges in Powershell. Because why not suffer more on this earth.
Since Peter Norvig has been topical this week, here are his great instructional ipython notebook solutions to last years AoC challenges[1]. [1] http://nbviewer.jupyter.org/url/norvig.com/ipython/Advent%20...
