OP is talking about advent of code day 8 part 2 solution. I can’t give you details of the problem (because that’s just to long) but you’re not supposed to brute force the solution because it would take trillions of iterations to get to the right combination.
But the guy in the picture did it anyway.
I forgot to add, you’re in the advent of code community so that alone should be enough context to understand OPs post. The questions the other guy asked are the equivalent of going to a formula 1 community and asking “Who the fuck is Toto Wolff and what does Mercedes have to do with anything?”
Advent of code is an coding advent calendar where a new puzzle is released every day for people to solve
The numbers there (apart from the timer) in the site that was linked can be clicked to bring you to specific puzzles (1 aka Day 1 for the puzzle on the 1st of december, 2 aka Day 2 for the 2nd of december, etc.)

I can’t speak for the other guy, but I definitely don’t!

What does my auntie Mercedes have to do with anything? I’d like to know too, you know?

Did you visit that website you linked? Do you know how little information I can see there, next to seemingly random symbols?
Also, making a community exclusive is okay. But expect people to ask if you then choose to go public.

Thank you! Very cool.
Ohhhh
I don’t think you can have private communities currently?
So? It is public.
