 # Instructions
 
-Given a year, report if it is a leap year.
-
-The tricky thing here is that a leap year in the Gregorian calendar occurs:
-
-```text
-on every year that is evenly divisible by 4
-  except every year that is evenly divisible by 100
-    unless the year is also evenly divisible by 400
-```
-
-For example, 1997 is not a leap year, but 1996 is.
-1900 is not a leap year, but 2000 is.
-
-## Notes
-
-Though our exercise adopts some very simple rules, there is more to learn!
-
-For a delightful, four minute explanation of the whole leap year phenomenon, go watch [this youtube video][video].

+# Introduction
+
+A leap year (in the Gregorian calendar) occurs:
+
+- In every year that is evenly divisible by 4
+- Unless the year is evenly divisible by 100, in which case it's only a leap year if the year is also evenly divisible by 400.
+
+Some examples:
+
+- 1997 was not a leap year as it's not divisible by 4.
+- 1900 was not a leap year as it's not divisible by 400
+- 2000 was a leap year!

 Determine if a number is perfect, abundant, or deficient based on Nicomachus' (60 - 120 CE) classification scheme for positive integers.
 
-The Greek mathematician [Nicomachus][nicomachus] devised a classification scheme for positive integers, identifying each as belonging uniquely to the categories of **perfect**, **abundant**, or **deficient** based on their [aliquot sum][aliquot-sum].
-The aliquot sum is defined as the sum of the factors of a number not including the number itself.
+The Greek mathematician [Nicomachus][nicomachus] devised a classification scheme for positive integers, identifying each as belonging uniquely to the categories of [perfect](#perfect), [abundant](#abundant), or [deficient](#deficient) based on their [aliquot sum][aliquot-sum].
+The _aliquot sum_ is defined as the sum of the factors of a number not including the number itself.
 For example, the aliquot sum of `15` is `1 + 3 + 5 = 9`.
 
-- **Perfect**: aliquot sum = number
-  - 6 is a perfect number because (1 + 2 + 3) = 6
-  - 28 is a perfect number because (1 + 2 + 4 + 7 + 14) = 28
-- **Abundant**: aliquot sum > number
-  - 12 is an abundant number because (1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 6) = 16
-  - 24 is an abundant number because (1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 6 + 8 + 12) = 36
-- **Deficient**: aliquot sum < number
-  - 8 is a deficient number because (1 + 2 + 4) = 7
-  - Prime numbers are deficient
-
-Implement a way to determine whether a given number is **perfect**.
-Depending on your language track, you may also need to implement a way to determine whether a given number is **abundant** or **deficient**.
+## Perfect
+
+A number is perfect when it equals its aliquot sum.
+For example:
+
+- `6` is a perfect number because `1 + 2 + 3 = 6`
+- `28` is a perfect number because `1 + 2 + 4 + 7 + 14 = 28`
+
+## Abundant
+
+A number is abundant when it is less than its aliquot sum.
+For example:
+
+- `12` is an abundant number because `1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 6 = 16`
+- `24` is an abundant number because `1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 6 + 8 + 12 = 36`
+
+## Deficient
+
+A number is deficient when it is greater than its aliquot sum.
+For example:
+
+- `8` is a deficient number because `1 + 2 + 4 = 7`
+- Prime numbers are deficient
+
+## Task
+
+Implement a way to determine whether a given number is [perfect](#perfect).
+Depending on your language track, you may also need to implement a way to determine whether a given number is [abundant](#abundant) or [deficient](#deficient).

 So if you are told the white queen is at `c5` (zero-indexed at column 2, row 3) and the black queen at `f2` (zero-indexed at column 5, row 6), then you know that the set-up is like so:

 You are also able to answer whether the queens can attack each other.
 In this case, that answer would be yes, they can, because both pieces share a diagonal.
