+# Accumulate
+
+Implement the `accumulate` operation, which, given a collection and an
+operation to perform on each element of the collection, returns a new
+collection containing the result of applying that operation to each element of
+the input collection.
+
+Given the collection of numbers:
+
+- 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
+
+And the operation:
+
+- square a number (`x => x * x`)
+
+Your code should be able to produce the collection of squares:
+
+- 1, 4, 9, 16, 25
+
+Check out the test suite to see the expected function signature.

 # Isbn Verifier
 
-Check if a given ISBN-10 is valid.
+The [ISBN-10 verification process](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Standard_Book_Number) is used to validate book identification
+numbers. These normally contain dashes and look like: `3-598-21508-8`
 
-## Functionality
+## ISBN
 
-Given an unkown string the program should check if the provided string is a valid ISBN-10.
-Putting this into place requires some thinking about preprocessing/parsing of the string prior to calculating the check digit for the ISBN.
+The ISBN-10 format is 9 digits (0 to 9) plus one check character (either a digit or an X only). In the case the check character is an X, this represents the value '10'. These may be communicated with or without hyphens, and can be checked for their validity by the following formula:
 
-The program should allow for ISBN-10 without the separating dashes to be verified as well.
+```
+(x1 * 10 + x2 * 9 + x3 * 8 + x4 * 7 + x5 * 6 + x6 * 5 + x7 * 4 + x8 * 3 + x9 * 2 + x10 * 1) mod 11 == 0
+```
 
-## ISBN
+If the result is 0, then it is a valid ISBN-10, otherwise it is invalid.
+
+## Example
 
-Let's take a random ISBN-10 number, say `3-598-21508-8` for this.
-The first digit block indicates the group where the ISBN belongs. Groups can consist of shared languages, geographic regions or countries. The leading '3' signals this ISBN is from a german speaking country.
-The following number block is to identify the publisher. Since this is a three digit publisher number there is a 5 digit title number for this book.
-The last digit in the ISBN is the check digit which is used to detect read errors.
+Let's take the ISBN-10 `3-598-21508-8`. We plug it in to the formula, and get:
+```
+(3 * 10 + 5 * 9 + 9 * 8 + 8 * 7 + 2 * 6 + 1 * 5 + 5 * 4 + 0 * 3 + 8 * 2 + 8 * 1) mod 11 == 0
+```
 
-The first 9 digits in the ISBN have to be between 0 and 9.
-The check digit can additionally be an 'X' to allow 10 to be a valid check digit as well.
+Since the result is 0, this proves that our ISBN is valid.
+
+## Task
+
+Given a string the program should check if the provided string is a valid ISBN-10.
+Putting this into place requires some thinking about preprocessing/parsing of the string prior to calculating the check digit for the ISBN.
 
-A valid ISBN-10 is calculated with this formula `(x1 * 10 + x2 * 9 + x3 * 8 + x4 * 7 + x5 * 6 + x6 * 5 + x7 * 4 + x8 * 3 + x9 * 2 + x10 * 1) mod 11 == 0`
-So for our example ISBN this means:
-(3 * 10 + 5 * 9 + 9 * 8 + 8 * 7 + 2 * 6 + 1 * 5 + 5 * 4 + 0 * 3 + 8 * 2 + 8 * 1) mod 11 = 0
+The program should be able to verify ISBN-10 both with and without separating dashes.
 
-Which proves that the ISBN is valid.
 
 ## Caveats
 
-Converting from string to number can be tricky in certain languages.
-It's getting even trickier since the check-digit of an ISBN-10 can be 'X'.
+Converting from strings to numbers can be tricky in certain languages.

-The Collatz Conjecture or 3x+1 problem can be summarized as follows:
+Given the position of two queens on a chess board, indicate whether or not they
+are positioned so that they can attack each other.
 
-Take any positive integer n. If n is even, divide n by 2 to get n / 2. If n is

-The conjecture states that no matter which number you start with, you will
