+# Instructions
+
+Your task is to look for patterns in the long sequence of digits in the encrypted signal.
+
+The technique you're going to use here is called the largest series product.
+
+Let's define a few terms, first.
+
+- **input**: the sequence of digits that you need to analyze
+- **series**: a sequence of adjacent digits (those that are next to each other) that is contained within the input
+- **span**: how many digits long each series is
+- **product**: what you get when you multiply numbers together
+
+Let's work through an example, with the input `"63915"`.
+
+- To form a series, take adjacent digits in the original input.
+- If you are working with a span of `3`, there will be three possible series:
+  - `"639"`
+  - `"391"`
+  - `"915"`
+- Then we need to calculate the product of each series:
+  - The product of the series `"639"` is 162 (`6 × 3 × 9 = 162`)
+  - The product of the series `"391"` is 27 (`3 × 9 × 1 = 27`)
+  - The product of the series `"915"` is 45 (`9 × 1 × 5 = 45`)
+- 162 is bigger than both 27 and 45, so the largest series product of `"63915"` is from the series `"639"`.
+  So the answer is **162**.

+# Introduction
+
+You work for a government agency that has intercepted a series of encrypted communication signals from a group of bank robbers.
+The signals contain a long sequence of digits.
+Your team needs to use various digital signal processing techniques to analyze the signals and identify any patterns that may indicate the planning of a heist.
