+## \-\-- Day 24: Electromagnetic Moat \-\--
+
+The CPU itself is a large, black building surrounded by a bottomless
+pit. Enormous metal tubes extend outward from the side of the building
+at regular intervals and descend down into the void. There\'s no way to
+cross, but you need to get inside.
+
+No way, of course, other than building a *bridge* out of the magnetic
+components strewn about nearby.
+
+Each component has two *ports*, one on each end. The ports come in all
+different types, and only matching types can be connected. You take an
+inventory of the components by their port types (your puzzle input).
+Each port is identified by the number of *pins* it uses; more pins mean
+a stronger connection for your bridge. A `3/7` component, for example,
+has a type-`3` port on one side, and a type-`7` port on the other.
+
+Your side of the pit is metallic; a perfect surface to connect a
+magnetic, *zero-pin port*. Because of this, the first port you use must
+be of type `0`. It doesn\'t matter what type of port you end with; your
+goal is just to make the bridge as strong as possible.
+
+The *strength* of a bridge is the sum of the port types in each
+component. For example, if your bridge is made of components `0/3`,
+`3/7`, and `7/4`, your bridge has a strength of `0+3 + 3+7 + 7+4 = 24`.
+
+For example, suppose you had the following components:
+
+    0/2
+    2/2
+    2/3
+    3/4
+    3/5
+    0/1
+    10/1
+    9/10
+
+With them, you could make the following valid bridges:
+
+-   `0/1`
+-   `0/1`\--`10/1`
+-   `0/1`\--`10/1`\--`9/10`
+-   `0/2`
+-   `0/2`\--`2/3`
+-   `0/2`\--`2/3`\--`3/4`
+-   `0/2`\--`2/3`\--`3/5`
+-   `0/2`\--`2/2`
+-   `0/2`\--`2/2`\--`2/3`
+-   `0/2`\--`2/2`\--`2/3`\--`3/4`
+-   `0/2`\--`2/2`\--`2/3`\--`3/5`
+
+(Note how, as shown by `10/1`, order of ports within a component
+doesn\'t matter. However, you may only use each port on a component
+once.)
+
+Of these bridges, the *strongest* one is `0/1`\--`10/1`\--`9/10`; it has
+a strength of `0+1 + 1+10 + 10+9 = 31`.
+
+*What is the strength of the strongest bridge you can make* with the
+components you have available?
+
+To begin, [get your puzzle input](24/input).
