 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).
+Given a range of numbers, find the largest and smallest palindromes which
+are products of numbers within that range.
 
-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)`.
