Day 24

I...again don't fully understand what I've done here. After reading the problem and printing out the binary representation of x + y and z, I looked at the bits that weren't correct and started trying to reason about why that might be. Manually swapping around outputs started to yield some results, so I hacked around until I got something that worked and submitted that answer. Once I had it by hand, I went searching for help on Reddit for how to solve this programmatically, and found a lot of chatter about half-adders and junk, so this is implementing some posts I saw there to search for the incorrect sequences and rewire them.
