+# Day 3: Rucksack Reorganization
+
+One Elf has the important job of loading all the rucksacks with supplies for the jungle journey. Unfortunately, that
+Elf didn't quite follow the packing instructions, and so a few items now need to be rearranged.
+
+Each rucksack has two large **compartments**. All items of a given type are meant to go into exactly one of the two
+compartments. The Elf that did the packing failed to follow this rule for exactly one item type per rucksack.
+
+The Elves have made a list of all the items currently in each rucksack (your puzzle input), but they need your help
+finding the errors. Every item type is identified by a single lowercase or uppercase letter (that is, `a` and `A` refer to
+different types of items).
+
+The list of items for each rucksack is given as characters all on a single line. A given rucksack always has the same
+number of items in each of its two compartments, so the first half of the characters represent items in the first
+compartment, while the second half of the characters represent items in the second compartment.
+
+For example, suppose you have the following list of contents from six rucksacks:
+
+```
+vJrwpWtwJgWrhcsFMMfFFhFp
+jqHRNqRjqzjGDLGLrsFMfFZSrLrFZsSL
+PmmdzqPrVvPwwTWBwg
+wMqvLMZHhHMvwLHjbvcjnnSBnvTQFn
+ttgJtRGJQctTZtZT
+CrZsJsPPZsGzwwsLwLmpwMDw
+```
+
+- The first rucksack contains the items `vJrwpWtwJgWrhcsFMMfFFhFp`, which means its first compartment contains the items
+  `vJrwpWtwJgWr`, while the second compartment contains the items `hcsFMMfFFhFp`. The only item type that appears in
+  both
+  compartments is lowercase **p**.
+- The second rucksack's compartments contain `jqHRNqRjqzjGDLGL` and `rsFMfFZSrLrFZsSL`. The only item type that appears
+  in
+  both compartments is uppercase **L**.
+- The third rucksack's compartments contain `PmmdzqPrV` and `vPwwTWBwg`; the only common item type is uppercase **P**.
+- The fourth rucksack's compartments only share item type **v**.
+- The fifth rucksack's compartments only share item type **t**.
+- The sixth rucksack's compartments only share item type **s**.
+
+To help prioritize item rearrangement, every item type can be converted to a **priority**:
+
+- Lowercase item types a through z have priorities 1 through 26.
+- Uppercase item types A through Z have priorities 27 through 52.
+In the above example, the priority of the item type that appears in both compartments of each rucksack is 16 (p), 38 (
+L), 42 (P), 22 (v), 20 (t), and 19 (s); the sum of these is `157`.
+
+Find the item type that appears in both compartments of each rucksack. **What is the sum of the priorities of those item
+types?**
