Re: [racket-users] Limiting consecutive identical elements with match

Re: [racket-users] Limiting consecutive identical elements with match

(This is related to the problem for this year’s Advent of Code day 4, so...SPOILERS.) (I did solve both parts of today's problem, so this is more for my own edification.) The problem involves finding lists of numbers, one of the criteria for which is that the list has at least two consecutive i
