Day 4: Scratchcards

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)
Code block support is not fully rolled out yet but likely will be in the middle of the event. Try to share solutions as both code blocks and using something such as https://topaz.github.io/paste/ or pastebin (code blocks to future proof it for when 0.19 comes out and since code blocks currently function in some apps and some instances as well if they are running a 0.19 beta)

Looks like Lemmy's odd parsing broke your comment at the less-than sign.

That's unfortunate, although it looks good on my instance (SDF). Anything I could do?

Ohh that’s interesting, I’ve seen a few comments about mishandling of special chars in code blocks and assumed it was a server issue, maybe it’s fixed in newer releases or perhaps it’s client side.
