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://blocks.programming.dev/ if you prefer sending it through a URL

Definitely trickier than yesterday’s. I feel like the
windows
solution isn’t the best, but it was what came to mind and ended up working for me.
