Megathread guidelines

  • Keep top level comments as only solutions, if you want to say something other than a solution put it in a new post. (replies to comments can be whatever)
  • You can send code in code blocks by using three backticks, the code, and then three backticks or use something such as https://topaz.github.io/paste/ if you prefer sending it through a URL

Not very happy with this, as for part 2 the code just told me which four pairs of bits of the output needed investigation and I then tediously worked through how they differed from the correct adder implementation in the debugger.

Spoilered as it is overly long and not very interesting.
