This is my first year participating. I've solved about 20-30 questions from previous years and really loved them. I tried to compete last night for top 100 and was 7 seconds off (rank 123). I shouldn't have tested my code for the first problem because it was too trivial!!

But, that gets the competitive aspect of this challenge out of the way immediately so I can simply have fun with these problems :)

I am excited for them to become a bit more challenging because my friend and I are going to work on them together.
