# --- Part Two ---
# While it appears you validated the passwords correctly, they don't seem to be
# what the Official Toboggan Corporate Authentication System is expecting.
# The shopkeeper suddenly realizes that he just accidentally explained the
# password policy rules from his old job at the sled rental place down the
# street! The Official Toboggan Corporate Policy actually works a little
# differently.
# Each policy actually describes two positions in the password, where 1 means
# the first character, 2 means the second character, and so on. (Be careful;
# Toboggan Corporate Policies have no concept of "index zero"!) Exactly one of
# these positions must contain the given letter. Other occurrences of the
# letter are irrelevant for the purposes of policy enforcement.
# Given the same example list from above:
# 1-3 a: abcde is valid: position 1 contains a and position 3 does not.
# 1-3 b: cdefg is invalid: neither position 1 nor position 3 contains b.
# 2-9 c: ccccccccc is invalid: both position 2 and position 9 contain c.
# How many passwords are valid according to the new interpretation of the
# policies?
