    At Easter, my family had a tradition where Easter Bunny left notes telling us where the next set of eggs were and we’d follow a trail of clues around the house. I thought everyone did it that way

      Maybe your family started early with explaining data structures, and this was their introduction to linked lists. Did you also have some family holiday featuring a red/green tree?

        My understanding is they usually just hide eggs around the house or yard and search, what was unusual was Easter Bunny giving us notes telling us where to look

          yes, this is how we did it, only we lived in an apartment where there were only so many possible hiding places, so it was never an enormous challenge in later years :D

      That was how it worked when I was a kid 🤷‍♂️

      Gotta find all of the eggs to get the last clue where the candy is.
