+```plain
+Letter                           Value
+A, E, I, O, U, L, N, R, S, T       1
+D, G                               2

+"cabbage" should be scored as worth 14 points:
+
+- 3 points for C
+- 1 point for A, twice
+- 3 points for B, twice

+
+And to total:

+- `3 + 2*1 + 2*3 + 2 + 1`
+- = `3 + 2 + 6 + 3`
+- = `5 + 9`
+- = 14

+# Secret Handshake
+
+> There are 10 types of people in the world: Those who understand
+> binary, and those who don't.
+
+You and your fellow cohort of those in the "know" when it comes to
+binary decide to come up with a secret "handshake".
+
+```
+1 = wink
+10 = double blink
+100 = close your eyes
+1000 = jump
+
+
+10000 = Reverse the order of the operations in the secret handshake.
+```
+
+Given a decimal number, convert it to the appropriate sequence of events for a secret handshake.
+
+Here's a couple of examples:
+
+Given the input 3, the function would return the array
+["wink", "double blink"] because 3 is 11 in binary.
+
+Given the input 19, the function would return the array
+["double blink", "wink"] because 19 is 10011 in binary.
+Notice that the addition of 16 (10000 in binary)
+has caused the array to be reversed.

+# Sieve
+
+Use the Sieve of Eratosthenes to find all the primes from 2 up to a given
+number.
+
+The Sieve of Eratosthenes is a simple, ancient algorithm for finding all
+prime numbers up to any given limit. It does so by iteratively marking as
+composite (i.e. not prime) the multiples of each prime,
+starting with the multiples of 2.
+
+Create your range, starting at two and continuing up to and including the given limit. (i.e. [2, limit])
+
+The algorithm consists of repeating the following over and over:
+
+- take the next available unmarked number in your list (it is prime)
+- mark all the multiples of that number (they are not prime)
+
+Repeat until you have processed each number in your range.
+
+When the algorithm terminates, all the numbers in the list that have not
+been marked are prime.
+
+The wikipedia article has a useful graphic that explains the algorithm:
+https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sieve_of_Eratosthenes
+
+Notice that this is a very specific algorithm, and the tests don't check
+that you've implemented the algorithm, only that you've come up with the
+correct list of primes.

+# Simple Cipher
+
+Implement a simple shift cipher like Caesar and a more secure substitution cipher.
+
+## Step 1
+
+"If he had anything confidential to say, he wrote it in cipher, that is,
+by so changing the order of the letters of the alphabet, that not a word
+could be made out. If anyone wishes to decipher these, and get at their
+meaning, he must substitute the fourth letter of the alphabet, namely D,
+for A, and so with the others."
+—Suetonius, Life of Julius Caesar
+
+Ciphers are very straight-forward algorithms that allow us to render
+text less readable while still allowing easy deciphering. They are
+vulnerable to many forms of cryptoanalysis, but we are lucky that
+generally our little sisters are not cryptoanalysts.
+
+The Caesar Cipher was used for some messages from Julius Caesar that
+were sent afield. Now Caesar knew that the cipher wasn't very good, but
+he had one ally in that respect: almost nobody could read well. So even
+being a couple letters off was sufficient so that people couldn't
+recognize the few words that they did know.
+
+Your task is to create a simple shift cipher like the Caesar Cipher.
+This image is a great example of the Caesar Cipher:
+
+![Caesar Cipher][1]
+
+For example:
+
+Giving "iamapandabear" as input to the encode function returns the cipher "ldpdsdqgdehdu". Obscure enough to keep our message secret in transit.
+
+When "ldpdsdqgdehdu" is put into the decode function it would return
+the original "iamapandabear" letting your friend read your original
+message.
+
+## Step 2
+
+Shift ciphers are no fun though when your kid sister figures it out. Try
+amending the code to allow us to specify a key and use that for the
+shift distance. This is called a substitution cipher.
+
+Here's an example:
+
+Given the key "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa", encoding the string "iamapandabear"
+would return the original "iamapandabear".
+
+Given the key "ddddddddddddddddd", encoding our string "iamapandabear"
+would return the obscured "lpdsdqgdehdu"
+
+In the example above, we've set a = 0 for the key value. So when the
+plaintext is added to the key, we end up with the same message coming
+out. So "aaaa" is not an ideal key. But if we set the key to "dddd", we
+would get the same thing as the Caesar Cipher.
+
+## Step 3
+
+The weakest link in any cipher is the human being. Let's make your
+substitution cipher a little more fault tolerant by providing a source
+of randomness and ensuring that the key is not composed of numbers or
+capital letters.
+
+If someone doesn't submit a key at all, generate a truly random key of
+at least 100 characters in length, accessible via Cipher#key (the #
+syntax means instance variable)
+
+If the key submitted has capital letters or numbers, throw an
+ArgumentError with a message to that effect.
+
+## Extensions
+
+Shift ciphers work by making the text slightly odd, but are vulnerable
+to frequency analysis. Substitution ciphers help that, but are still
+very vulnerable when the key is short or if spaces are preserved. Later
+on you'll see one solution to this problem in the exercise
+"crypto-square".
+
+If you want to go farther in this field, the questions begin to be about
+how we can exchange keys in a secure way. Take a look at [Diffie-Hellman
+on Wikipedia][dh] for one of the first implementations of this scheme.

+Implement the `keep` and `discard` operation on collections. Given a collection
+and a predicate on the collection's elements, `keep` returns a new collection
+containing those elements where the predicate is true, while `discard` returns
+a new collection containing those elements where the predicate is false.
+
+For example, given the collection of numbers:
+
+- 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
+
+And the predicate:
+
+- is the number even?
+
+Then your keep operation should produce:

+- 2, 4
+
+While your discard operation should produce:
+
+- 1, 3, 5
+
+Note that the union of keep and discard is all the elements.
