-A palindromic number reads the same both ways. The largest palindrome
-made from the product of two 2-digit numbers is 9009 = 91 x 99.
+A palindromic number is a number that remains the same when its digits are
+reversed. For example, `121` is a palindromic number but `112` is not.
+
+Given the definition of a palindromic number, we define a palindrome _product_
+to be the product `c`, such that `a * b = c`, where `c` is a palindromic number and
+ `a` and `b` are integers (possibly, but _not_ necessarily palindromic numbers).
+
+For example, the palindromic number 9009 can be written as the palindrome
+product: `91 * 99 = 9009`.
+
+It's possible (and indeed common) for a palindrome product to be the product
+of multiple combinations of numbers. For example, the palindrome product `9` has
+the factors `(1, 9)`, `(3, 3)`, and `(9, 1)`.
+
+Write a program that given a range of integers, returns the smallest and largest
+palindromic product within that range, along with all of it's factors.
+
+## Example 1
+
+Given the range `[1, 9]` (both inclusive)...
+
+The smallest product is `1`. It's factors are `(1, 1)`.
+The largest product is `9`. It's factors are `(1, 9)`, `(3, 3)`, and `(9, 1)`.
+
+## Example 2
+
+Given the range `[10, 99]` (both inclusive)...
+
+The smallest palindrome product is `121`. It's factors are `(11, 11)`.
+The largest palindrome product is `9009`. It's factors are `(93, 99)` and `(99, 91)`.
