(*The captcha requires you to review a sequence of digits (your puzzle input) and*)
(*find the sum of all digits that match the next digit in the list. The list is*)
(*circular, so the digit after the last digit is the first digit in the list.*)
(*For example:*)
(*1122 produces a sum of 3 (1 + 2) because the first digit (1) matches the*)
(*second digit and the third digit (2) matches the fourth digit.*)
(*1111 produces 4 because each digit (all 1) matches the next.*)
(*1234 produces 0 because no digit matches the next.*)
(*91212129 produces 9 because the only digit that matches the next one is the*)
(*last digit, 9.*)
