+# Minesweeper
+
+Add the numbers to a minesweeper board.
+
+Minesweeper is a popular game where the user has to find the mines using
+numeric hints that indicate how many mines are directly adjacent
+(horizontally, vertically, diagonally) to a square.
+
+In this exercise you have to create some code that counts the number of
+mines adjacent to a square and transforms boards like this (where `*`
+indicates a mine):
+
+    +-----+
+    | * * |
+    |  *  |
+    |  *  |
+    |     |
+    +-----+
+
+into this:
+
+    +-----+
+    |1*3*1|
+    |13*31|
+    | 2*2 |
+    | 111 |
+    +-----+
+
+## Running the tests
+
+To run the tests run the command `go test` from within the exercise directory.
+
+If the test suite contains benchmarks, you can run these with the `-bench`
+flag:
+
+    go test -bench .
+
+Keep in mind that each reviewer will run benchmarks on a different machine, with
+different specs, so the results from these benchmark tests may vary.

+# Nucleotide Count
+
+Given a DNA string, compute how many times each nucleotide occurs in the string.
+
+DNA is represented by an alphabet of the following symbols: 'A', 'C',
+'G', and 'T'.
+
+Each symbol represents a nucleotide, which is a fancy name for the
+particular molecules that happen to make up a large part of DNA.
+
+Shortest intro to biochemistry EVAR:
+
+- twigs are to birds nests as
+- nucleotides are to DNA and RNA as
+- amino acids are to proteins as
+- sugar is to starch as
+- oh crap lipids
+
+I'm not going to talk about lipids because they're crazy complex.
+
+So back to nucleotides.
+
+DNA contains four types of them: adenine (`A`), cytosine (`C`), guanine
+(`G`), and thymine (`T`).
+
+RNA contains a slightly different set of nucleotides, but we don't care
+about that for now.

+represented, or whether it is garbled.
+
+# Step One
+
+To begin with, convert a simple binary font to a string containing 0 or 1.
+
+The binary font uses pipes and underscores, four rows high and three columns wide.
+
+```
+     _   #
+    | |  # zero.

+         # the fourth row is always blank

+      |  #
+         # (blank fourth row)
+```
+
+Is converted to "1"
+
+If the input is the correct size, but not recognizable, your program should return '?'
+
+If the input is the incorrect size, your program should return an error.
+
+# Step Two
+
+Update your program to recognize multi-character binary strings, replacing garbled numbers with ?
+
+# Step Three
+
+Update your program to recognize all numbers 0 through 9, both individually and as part of a larger string.

+# 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)`.
