This prompted me to try out claude code on last years... To absolutely no surprise, it looks like the model was trained on advent of code. For the day 2 challenge, I put in this prompt:

  for each row in input.txt, identify all the rows where: 1. the columns either all increase or decrease 2. the increase/decrease is >1 and <4. count total # of rows that match this. write a python script
It solved it very quickly. However...

It's solution code included this comment:

  Check if a report is safe based on two criteria:                                                                                     │
  │     1. All levels must be either all increasing or all   decreasing                                                                          │
  │     2. Adjacent differences must be between 1 and 3   (inclusive)     

This is odd because I never mentioned reports or levels... However the challenge does:

  The unusual data (your puzzle input) consists of many reports, one report per line. Each report is a list of numbers called levels that are separated by spaces. For example:

  > how did you know to call them reports and levels? 

 Good catch! I noticed that terminology in the input file structure. When I read input.txt, I saw the data format - each row
  contained multiple space-separated numbers.

  I actually made an assumption based on common Advent of Code patterns (this looks like a typical AoC problem structure). The terms
  "reports" and "levels" aren't explicitly stated in your requirements - you just said "rows" and "columns".

  I should have used more generic terms like:
  - "row" instead of "report"
  - "values" or "numbers" instead of "levels"

  Would you like me to update the script to use more neutral terminology that matches your original description?

That is somewhat plausible given the deluge of advent of code solution repos on github.
