+
+Oh, hello! Funny seeing you here.
+
+I appreciate your enthusiasm, but you aren't going to find much down here.
+There certainly aren't clues to any of the puzzles. The best surprises don't
+even appear in the source until you unlock them for real.
+
+Please be careful with automated requests; I'm not Google, and I can only take
+so much traffic. Please be considerate so that everyone gets to play.
+
+If you're curious about how Advent of Code works, it's running on some custom
+Perl code. Other than a few integrations (auth, analytics, ads, social media),
+I built the whole thing myself, including the design, animations, prose, and
+all of the puzzles.
+
+The puzzles probably took the longest; the easiest ones were around 45 minutes
+each, but the harder ones took 2-3 hours, and a few even longer than that. A
+lot of effort went into building this thing - I hope you're enjoying playing it
+as much as I enjoyed making it for you!
+
+If you'd like to hang out, I'm @ericwastl on Twitter.

+<article class="day-desc"><h2>--- Day 13: A Maze of Twisty Little Cubicles ---</h2><p>You arrive at the first floor of this new building to discover a much less welcoming environment than the shiny atrium of the last one. Instead, you are in a maze of <span title="You are in a twisty alike of little cubicles, all maze.">twisty little cubicles</span>, all alike.</p>
+<p>Every location in this area is addressed by a pair of non-negative integers (<code>x,y</code>). Each such coordinate is either a wall or an open space. You can't move diagonally. The cube maze starts at <code>0,0</code> and seems to extend infinitely toward <em>positive</em> <code>x</code> and <code>y</code>; negative values are <em>invalid</em>, as they represent a location outside the building. You are in a small waiting area at <code>1,1</code>.</p>
+<p>While it seems chaotic, a nearby morale-boosting poster explains, the layout is actually quite logical. You can determine whether a given <code>x,y</code> coordinate will be a wall or an open space using a simple system:</p>
+<ul>
+<li>Find <code>x*x + 3*x + 2*x*y + y + y*y</code>.</li>
+<li>Add the office designer's favorite number (your puzzle input).</li>
+<li>Find the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_number">binary representation</a> of that sum; count the <em>number</em> of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bit">bits</a> that are <code>1</code>.
+<ul>
+<li>If the number of bits that are <code>1</code> is <em>even</em>, it's an <em>open space</em>.</li>
+<li>If the number of bits that are <code>1</code> is <em>odd</em>, it's a <em>wall</em>.</li>
+</ul>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<p>For example, if the office designer's favorite number were <code>10</code>, drawing walls as <code>#</code> and open spaces as <code>.</code>, the corner of the building containing <code>0,0</code> would look like this:</p>
+<pre><code> 0123456789
+0 .#.####.##
+1 ..#..#...#
+2 #....##...
+3 ###.#.###.
+4 .##..#..#.
+5 ..##....#.
+6 #...##.###
+</code></pre>
+<p>Now, suppose you wanted to reach <code>7,4</code>. The shortest route you could take is marked as <code>O</code>:</p>
+<pre><code> 0123456789
+0 .#.####.##
+1 .O#..#...#
+2 #OOO.##...
+3 ###O#.###.
+4 .##OO#OO#.
+5 ..##OOO.#.
+6 #...##.###
+</code></pre>
+<p>Thus, reaching <code>7,4</code> would take a minimum of <code>11</code> steps (starting from your current location, <code>1,1</code>).</p>
+<p>What is the <em>fewest number of steps required</em> for you to reach <code>31,39</code>?</p>
+</article>
+<p>Your puzzle answer was <code>82</code>.</p><article class="day-desc"><h2>--- Part Two ---</h2><p><em>How many locations</em> (distinct <code>x,y</code> coordinates, including your starting location) can you reach in at most <code>50</code> steps?</p>
+</article>
+<p>Your puzzle answer was <code>138</code>.</p><p class="day-success">Both parts of this puzzle are complete! They provide two gold stars: **</p>
+<p>At this point, you should <a href="/2016">return to your advent calendar</a> and try another puzzle.</p>
