I like it, it's simple and to the point. I've learned that one of the most helpful things to do when solving these puzzles is to not make it more complicated than it needs to be, and you certainly succeeded better at that today than I did.
My solution for day 1 part 1 was simple and to the point. The other ones are getting increasingly less so. You're right that sometimes it's best not to get too fancy, but I think soon I may have to break out such advanced programming techniques as "functions" and maybe "objects", instead of writing increasingly convoluted piles of nested loops. xD
