-Challenge 1: "Create a script which takes a list of numbers from
-command line and print the same in the compact form. For example, if
-you pass 1,2,3,4,9,10,14,15,16 then it should print the compact form
-like 1-4,9,10,14-16.."
+Challenge 1: "Write a script that computes the first five perfect
+numbers. A perfect number is an integer that is the sum of its positive
+proper divisors (all divisors except itself). Please check Wiki for
+more information.  First 4 are 6, 28, 496 and 8128"
 
-Quite simple and dull problem. But ok, let's have a go.
+My notes: Cute little problem, let's have a go.
 
-Challenge 2: "Create a script to calculate Ramanujan's constant with at
-least 32 digits of precision."
 
-Never heard of this constant, seems to be e^(pi*sqrt(163)), which is
-"very nearly an integer", I don't particularly care about abtruse mathematical
-formulae.  But ok, Perl's built in module biggrat will let you do this anyway,
-specifying accuracy 32; see ch-2.sh for the oneliner.
+Challenge 2: "Write a function, center, whose argument is a list of
+strings, which will be lines of text. The function should insert spaces
+at the beginning of the lines of text so that if they were printed,
+the text would be centered, and return the modified lines."
+
+My notes:
+
+Another well-specified problem:-)
