+# Resistor Color Duo
+
+Welcome to Resistor Color Duo on Exercism's Bash Track.
+If you need help running the tests or submitting your code, check out `HELP.md`.
+
+## Instructions
+
+If you want to build something using a Raspberry Pi, you'll probably use _resistors_.
+For this exercise, you need to know two things about them:
+
+- Each resistor has a resistance value.
+- Resistors are small - so small in fact that if you printed the resistance value on them, it would be hard to read.
+
+To get around this problem, manufacturers print color-coded bands onto the resistors to denote their resistance values.
+Each band has a position and a numeric value.
+
+The first 2 bands of a resistor have a simple encoding scheme: each color maps to a single number.
+For example, if they printed a brown band (value 1) followed by a green band (value 5), it would translate to the number 15.
+
+In this exercise you are going to create a helpful program so that you don't have to remember the values of the bands.
+The program will take color names as input and output a two digit number, even if the input is more than two colors!
+
+The band colors are encoded as follows:
+
+- Black: 0
+- Brown: 1
+- Red: 2
+- Orange: 3
+- Yellow: 4
+- Green: 5
+- Blue: 6
+- Violet: 7
+- Grey: 8
+- White: 9
+
+From the example above:
+brown-green should return 15
+brown-green-violet should return 15 too, ignoring the third color.
