• Day 05 is the first interesting problem. You did part1, but you didn't do part2 which is where the problem starts to get hard
• Day 06 is also slightly interesting, despite it's trivial to solve. You did part1, you didn't do part2, but you didn't discovered the "interesting" solution.
• Day 08 is probably the first very idiotic problem. I hated it. You need to study the (real) input to find the sensible not-overly-complex solution.
• Day 12 is interesting.
• Day 14 is interesting.
• Day 17 got me stuck. I did both parts, but part2 is slow and unacceptable by my personal standards.
• Day 18 is interesting, but easy (for third-week problem) if you know what to do.

• I didn't even read the problems past day 18. (I was focusing on truly solving day 17 and currently I lost interesting in the advent of code).
• Also, most of the "interesting" part of the problem is in part2. I think all the part1 are bruteforceable (thus, uninteresting) to some degree
• If you want advice for your livestream, do the part2 of the problems you already solved. Every part2 is just a spicy part1. It's the same problem with a twist that frequently break bruteforce solutions

• (Those are my impressions by skimming through my solutions. To be honest, I don't really remember any of those problems.)
• Also, "interesting" is a strong word lol. They are dummy problems that are meant to be solved in one day, and when you get stuck it's frustrating because it's literally a waste of time
