This is an attempt at making the gigasecond exercise easier to understand and a bit more engaging. The key change is to provide more context around the idea of a gigasecond and why it is potentially interesting. It also tones down the mathiness in an attempt to make it feel more casual, friendly, and approachable. As part of this change we're splitting the description.md file into two files: - introduction.md which gives context, and - instructions.md which tells the student what the task actually consists of. This is a change that was documented as part of the v3 migration.

Thanks. I tested it in a raku implementation of the gigasecond exercise. |
