Does anyone know about Advent of Code, and has anyone ever participated for Ada? It's typically a sequence of programming puzzles posed as an Advent calendar: one for each new day.

I had thought of it, but I don't have too much time. Some languages maintain their own mini-communities and leaderboards, and it might be a way to raise Ada's profile (or even SPARK'S?).
