+# 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.
