+## \-\-- Day 12: Digital Plumber \-\--
+
+Walking along the memory banks of the stream, you find a small village
+that is experiencing a little confusion: some programs can\'t
+communicate with each other.
+
+Programs in this village communicate using a fixed system of *pipes*.
+Messages are passed between programs using these pipes, but most
+programs aren\'t connected to each other directly. Instead, programs
+pass messages between each other until the message reaches the intended
+recipient.
+
+For some reason, though, some of these messages aren\'t ever reaching
+their intended recipient, and the programs suspect that some
+pipes
+are missing. They would like you to investigate.
+
+You walk through the village and record the ID of each program and the
+IDs with which it can communicate directly (your puzzle input). Each
+program has one or more programs with which it can communicate, and
+these pipes are bidirectional; if `8` says it can communicate with `11`,
+then `11` will say it can communicate with `8`.
+
+You need to figure out how many programs are in the group that contains
+program ID `0`.
+
+For example, suppose you go door-to-door like a travelling salesman and
+record the following list:
+
+    0 <-> 2
+    1 <-> 1
+    2 <-> 0, 3, 4
+    3 <-> 2, 4
+    4 <-> 2, 3, 6
+    5 <-> 6
+    6 <-> 4, 5
+
+In this example, the following programs are in the group that contains
+program ID `0`:
+
+-   Program `0` by definition.
+-   Program `2`, directly connected to program `0`.
+-   Program `3` via program `2`.
+-   Program `4` via program `2`.
+-   Program `5` via programs `6`, then `4`, then `2`.
+-   Program `6` via programs `4`, then `2`.
+
+Therefore, a total of `6` programs are in this group; all but program
+`1`, which has a pipe that connects it to itself.
+
+*How many programs* are in the group that contains program ID `0`?
+
+Your puzzle answer was `113`.
+
+## \-\-- Part Two \-\-- {#part2}
+
+There are more programs than just the ones in the group containing
+program ID `0`. The rest of them have no way of reaching that group, and
+still might have no way of reaching each other.
+
+A *group* is a collection of programs that can all communicate via pipes
+either directly or indirectly. The programs you identified just a moment
+ago are all part of the same group. Now, they would like you to
+determine the total number of groups.
+
+In the example above, there were `2` groups: one consisting of programs
+`0,2,3,4,5,6`, and the other consisting solely of program `1`.
+
+*How many groups are there* in total?
+
+Your puzzle answer was `202`.
+
+Both parts of this puzzle are complete! They provide two gold stars:
+\*\*
+
+At this point, you should [return to your Advent calendar](/2017) and
+try another puzzle.
+
+If you still want to see it, you can [get your puzzle
+input](12/input).
