Day 3 Solution. Some infinite char grids, int overflows, and a new Multiply() method;

Day 2 solution with a new ParseLines() extension method, some Tuples, and the XOR operator

There was a slight hiccup with the Advent Of Code site going down right at launch today. Within about 5-6 minutes they had solved the problem, and the site author gave a couple comments about it on reddit:

Advent Of Code 2020 is just around the corner. This year my hope is to create a short video after solving each day to show off my solution. Here's an intro video where I walk-through the framework/GUI I've created where I write and run my code.

I'm pretty big on the SQL Azure Serverless SKU. It allows you to scale databases up and down automatically within a band of between 0.75 and 40 vCores on Gen5 hardware.

We wanted to allocate the resources in a terraform template but had a little trouble figuring it out.
