+# Instructions
+
+If you want to build something using a Raspberry Pi, you'll probably use _resistors_.
+For this exercise, you need to know two things about them:
+
+- Each resistor has a resistance value.
+- Resistors are small - so small in fact that if you printed the resistance value on them, it would be hard to read.
+
+To get around this problem, manufacturers print color-coded bands onto the resistors to denote their resistance values.
+Each band has a position and a numeric value.
+
+The first 2 bands of a resistor have a simple encoding scheme: each color maps to a single number.
+For example, if they printed a brown band (value 1) followed by a green band (value 5), it would translate to the number 15.
+
+In this exercise you are going to create a helpful program so that you don't have to remember the values of the bands.
+The program will take color names as input and output a two digit number, even if the input is more than two colors!
+
+The band colors are encoded as follows:
+
+- black: 0
+- brown: 1
+- red: 2
+- orange: 3
+- yellow: 4
+- green: 5
+- blue: 6
+- violet: 7
+- grey: 8
+- white: 9
+
+From the example above:
+brown-green should return 15, and
+brown-green-violet should return 15 too, ignoring the third color.
