//! # Day 5: How About a Nice Game of Chess?
//!
//! You are faced with a security door designed by Easter Bunny engineers that seem to have acquired
//! most of their security knowledge by watching [hacking movies].
//!
//! The **eight-character password** for the door is generated one character at a time by finding
//! the [MD5] hash of some Door ID (your puzzle input) and an increasing integer index (starting
//! with `0`).
//!
//! A hash indicates the **next character** in the password if its [hexadecimal] representation
//! starts with **five zeroes**. If it does, the sixth character in the hash is the next character
//! of the password.
//!
//! For example, if the Door ID is `abc`:
//!
//! - The first index which produces a hash that starts with five zeroes is `3231929`, which we find
//! by hashing `abc3231929`; the sixth character of the hash, and thus the first character of the
//! password, is `1`.
//! - `5017308` produces the next interesting hash, which starts with `000008f82...`, so the second
//! character of the password is `8`.
//! - The third time a hash starts with five zeroes is for `abc5278568`, discovering the character
//! `f`.
//!
//! In this example, after continuing this search a total of eight times, the password is
//! `18f47a30`.
//!
//! Given the actual Door ID, **what is the password**?
//!
//! [hacking movies]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hackers_(film)
//! [MD5]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MD5
//! [hexadecimal]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexadecimal
//!
//! ## Part Two
//!
//! As the door slides open, you are presented with a second door that uses a slightly more inspired
//! security mechanism. Clearly unimpressed by the last version (in what movie is the password
//! decrypted **in order**?!), the Easter Bunny engineers have worked out [a better solution].
//!
//! Instead of simply filling in the password from left to right, the hash now also indicates the
//! **position** within the password to fill. You still look for hashes that begin with five zeroes;
//! however, now, the **sixth** character represents the **position** (`0`-`7`), and the **seventh**
//! character is the character to put in that position.
//!
//! A hash result of `000001f` means that `f` is the **second** character in the password. Use only
//! the **first result** for each position, and ignore invalid positions.
//!
//! For example, if the Door ID is `abc`:
//!
//! - The first interesting hash is from `abc3231929`, which produces `0000015...`; so, `5` goes in
//! position `1`: `_5______`.
//! - In the previous method, `5017308` produced an interesting hash; however, it is ignored,
//! because it specifies an invalid position (`8`).
//! - The second interesting hash is at index `5357525`, which produces `000004e...`; so, `e` goes
//! in position `4`: `_5__e___`.
//!
//! You almost choke on your popcorn as the final character falls into place, producing the password
//! `05ace8e3`.
//!
//! Given the actual Door ID and this new method, **what is the password**? Be extra proud of your
//! solution if it uses a cinematic "decrypting" animation.
//!
