+## Hints
+
+For the appropriate amount of challenge here, you should only
+use functionality present in Prelude. Try not to use Data.List,
+Data.Char, Data.Bits, or Numeric.
+
+Try and use seq, $!, or BangPatterns appropriately to ensure
+that the solution is efficient.
+
+Handling invalid input is not necessary.
+
+If you've done the Octal exercise, perhaps you should generalize it.
