+
+### Implementation
+
+# The task states: "An additive number is a string whose digits can form
+# an additive sequence." I see some ambiguity in the phrase "digits can
+# form an additive sequence". What is the meaning of "form"? We might
+# pick arbitrary digits to build numbers. However, the examples suggest
+# that we shall split the given string to get the numbers. As this
+# interpretation significantly simplifies the task, I'll follow it.
+#
+# The first two numbers may be chosen freely from the head of the
+# string. However, there are restrictions to their lengths:
+# - The maximum length of the first number must leave enough room for a
+# second number of length one and a tail of the same length as the
+# first number.
+# - The maximum length of the second number must leave enough room for a
+# tail of the lengths of both, the first and the second number.
+# Starting with all starting pairs conforming to above restrictions, we
+# check if the remaining string follows the additive sequence generated
+# by the starting pair. Collecting the additive sequence along the way.
