+Given students' names along with the grade that they are in, create a roster
+for the school.
+
+In the end, you should be able to:
+
+- Add a student's name to the roster for a grade
+  - "Add Jim to grade 2."
+  - "OK."
+- Get a list of all students enrolled in a grade
+  - "Which students are in grade 2?"
+  - "We've only got Jim just now."
+- Get a sorted list of all students in all grades.  Grades should sort
+  as 1, 2, 3, etc., and students within a grade should be sorted
+  alphabetically by name.
+  - "Who all is enrolled in school right now?"
+  - "Grade 1: Anna, Barb, and Charlie. Grade 2: Alex, Peter, and Zoe.
+    Grade 3…"
+
+Note that all our students only have one name.  (It's a small town, what
+do you want?)
+
+
+## For bonus points
+
+Did you get the tests passing and the code clean? If you want to, these
+are some additional things you could try:
+
+- If you're working in a language with mutable data structures and your
+  implementation allows outside code to mutate the school's internal DB
+  directly, see if you can prevent this. Feel free to introduce additional
+  tests.
+
+Then please share your thoughts in a comment on the submission. Did this
+experiment make the code better? Worse? Did you learn anything from it?

+# Hamming
+
+Calculate the Hamming difference between two DNA strands.
+
+A mutation is simply a mistake that occurs during the creation or
+copying of a nucleic acid, in particular DNA. Because nucleic acids are
+vital to cellular functions, mutations tend to cause a ripple effect
+throughout the cell. Although mutations are technically mistakes, a very
+rare mutation may equip the cell with a beneficial attribute. In fact,
+the macro effects of evolution are attributable by the accumulated
+result of beneficial microscopic mutations over many generations.
+
+The simplest and most common type of nucleic acid mutation is a point
+mutation, which replaces one base with another at a single nucleotide.
+
+By counting the number of differences between two homologous DNA strands
+taken from different genomes with a common ancestor, we get a measure of
+the minimum number of point mutations that could have occurred on the
+evolutionary path between the two strands.
+
+This is called the 'Hamming distance'.
+
+It is found by comparing two DNA strands and counting how many of the
+nucleotides are different from their equivalent in the other string.
+
+    GAGCCTACTAACGGGAT
+    CATCGTAATGACGGCCT
+    ^ ^ ^  ^ ^    ^^
+
+The Hamming distance between these two DNA strands is 7.
+
+# Implementation notes
+
+The Hamming distance is only defined for sequences of equal length. This means
+that based on the definition, each language could deal with getting sequences
+of equal length differently.

+# Leap
+
+Given a year, report if it is a leap year.
+
+The tricky thing here is that a leap year in the Gregorian calendar occurs:
+
+```plain
+on every year that is evenly divisible by 4
+  except every year that is evenly divisible by 100
+    unless the year is also evenly divisible by 400
+```
+
+For example, 1997 is not a leap year, but 1996 is.  1900 is not a leap
+year, but 2000 is.
+
+If your language provides a method in the standard library that does

+# Phone Number
+
+Clean up user-entered phone numbers so that they can be sent SMS messages.
+
+The **North American Numbering Plan (NANP)** is a telephone numbering system used by many countries in North America like the United States, Canada or Bermuda. All NANP-countries share the same international country code: `1`.
+
+NANP numbers are ten-digit numbers consisting of a three-digit Numbering Plan Area code, commonly known as *area code*, followed by a seven-digit local number. The first three digits of the local number represent the *exchange code*, followed by the unique four-digit number which is the *subscriber number*.
+
+
+The format is usually represented as
+```
+(NXX)-NXX-XXXX
+```
+where `N` is any digit from 2 through 9 and `X` is any digit from 0 through 9.
+
+Your task is to clean up differently formated telephone numbers by removing punctuation and the country code (1) if present.
+
+For example, the inputs
+- `+1 (613)-995-0253`
+- `613-995-0253`
+- `1 613 995 0253`
+- `613.995.0253`
+
+should all produce the output
+
+`6139950253`
+
+**Note:** As this exercise only deals with telephone numbers used in NANP-countries, only 1 is considered a valid country code.

+# Say
+
+Given a number from 0 to 999,999,999,999, spell out that number in English.
+
+## Step 1
+
+Handle the basic case of 0 through 99.
+
+If the input to the program is `22`, then the output should be
+`'twenty-two'`.
+
+Your program should complain loudly if given a number outside the
+blessed range.
+
+Some good test cases for this program are:
+
+- 0
+- 14
+- 50
+- 98
+- -1
+- 100
+
+### Extension
+
+If you're on a Mac, shell out to Mac OS X's `say` program to talk out
+loud.
+
+## Step 2
+
+Implement breaking a number up into chunks of thousands.
+
+So `1234567890` should yield a list like 1, 234, 567, and 890, while the
+far simpler `1000` should yield just 1 and 0.
+
+The program must also report any values that are out of range.
+
+## Step 3
+
+Now handle inserting the appropriate scale word between those chunks.
+
+So `1234567890` should yield `'1 billion 234 million 567 thousand 890'`
+
+The program must also report any values that are out of range.  It's
+fine to stop at "trillion".
+
+## Step 4
+
+Put it all together to get nothing but plain English.
+
+`12345` should give `twelve thousand three hundred forty-five`.
+
+The program must also report any values that are out of range.
+
+### Extensions
+
+Use _and_ (correctly) when spelling out the number in English:
+
+- 14 becomes "fourteen".
+- 100 becomes "one hundred".
+- 120 becomes "one hundred and twenty".
+- 1002 becomes "one thousand and two".
+- 1323 becomes "one thousand three hundred and twenty-three".
