+# Luhn
+
+Given a number determine whether or not it is valid per the Luhn formula.
+
+The [Luhn algorithm](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luhn_algorithm) is
+a simple checksum formula used to validate a variety of identification
+numbers, such as credit card numbers and Canadian Social Insurance
+Numbers.
+
+The task is to check if a given string is valid.
+
+Validating a Number
+------
+
+Strings of length 1 or less are not valid. Spaces are allowed in the input,
+but they should be stripped before checking. All other non-digit characters
+are disallowed.
+
+## Example 1: valid credit card number
+
+```
+4539 1488 0343 6467
+```
+
+The first step of the Luhn algorithm is to double every second digit,
+starting from the right. We will be doubling
+
+```
+4_3_ 1_8_ 0_4_ 6_6_
+```
+
+If doubling the number results in a number greater than 9 then subtract 9
+from the product. The results of our doubling:
+
+```
+8569 2478 0383 3437
+```
+
+Then sum all of the digits:
+
+```
+8+5+6+9+2+4+7+8+0+3+8+3+3+4+3+7 = 80
+```
+
+If the sum is evenly divisible by 10, then the number is valid. This number is valid!
+
+## Example 2: invalid credit card number
+
+```
+8273 1232 7352 0569
+```
+
+Double the second digits, starting from the right
+
+```
+7253 2262 5312 0539
+```
+
+Sum the digits
+
+```
+7+2+5+3+2+2+6+2+5+3+1+2+0+5+3+9 = 57
+```
+
+57 is not evenly divisible by 10, so this number is not valid.

+# Meetup
+
+Calculate the date of meetups.
+
+Typically meetups happen on the same day of the week.  In this exercise, you will take
+a description of a meetup date, and return the actual meetup date.
+
+Examples of general descriptions are:
+
+- the first Monday of January 2017
+- the third Tuesday of January 2017
+- the Wednesteenth of January 2017
+- the last Thursday of January 2017
+
+Note that "Monteenth", "Tuesteenth", etc are all made up words. There
+was a meetup whose members realized that there are exactly 7 numbered days in a month that
+end in '-teenth'. Therefore, one is guaranteed that each day of the week
+(Monday, Tuesday, ...) will have exactly one date that is named with '-teenth'
+in every month.
+
+Given examples of a meetup dates, each containing a month, day, year, and descriptor 
+(first, second, teenth, etc), calculate the date of the actual meetup.
+For example, if given "First Monday of January 2017", the correct meetup date is 2017/1/2

+# Octal
+
+Convert an octal number, represented as a string (e.g. '1735263'), to its
+decimal equivalent using first principles (i.e. no, you may not use built-in or
+external libraries to accomplish the conversion).
+
+Implement octal to decimal conversion.  Given an octal input
+string, your program should produce a decimal output.
+
+## Note
+- Implement the conversion yourself.
+  Do not use something else to perform the conversion for you.
+- Treat invalid input as octal 0.
+
+## About Octal (Base-8)
+Decimal is a base-10 system.
+
+A number 233 in base 10 notation can be understood
+as a linear combination of powers of 10:
+
+- The rightmost digit gets multiplied by 10^0 = 1
+- The next number gets multiplied by 10^1 = 10
+- ...
+- The *n*th number gets multiplied by 10^*(n-1)*.
+- All these values are summed.
+
+So:
+```
+   233 # decimal
+ = 2*10^2 + 3*10^1 + 3*10^0
+ = 2*100  + 3*10   + 3*1
+```
+
+Octal is similar, but uses powers of 8 rather than powers of 10.
+
+So:
+```
+   233 # octal
+ = 2*8^2 + 3*8^1 + 3*8^0
+ = 2*64  + 3*8   + 3*1
+ = 128   + 24    + 3
+ = 155

+# Palindrome Products
+
+Detect palindrome products in a given range.
+
+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 `(91, 99)` and `(99, 91)`.
