+# 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.
+
+In this exercise you are going to create a helpful program so that you don't have to remember the values of the bands.
+
+These 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
+
+The goal of this exercise is to create a way:
+
+- to look up the numerical value associated with a particular color band
+- to list the different band colors
+
+Mnemonics map the colors to the numbers, that, when stored as an array, happen to map to their index in the array:
+Better Be Right Or Your Great Big Values Go Wrong.
+
+More information on the color encoding of resistors can be found in the [Electronic color code Wikipedia article][e-color-code].
