Additional Information

Leaving this as a draft for the time being. The main question I'd have is: are we okay with this organization / structure, or do we want to approach this differently?

Currently all the exercises in this repo are for "basic ruby." It might make sense to create an entirely new repo for these new exercises, which is the same way we do the custom enumerables project.

If we do leave them in this repo, is the way I have them organized here okay? Definitely interested in other maintainer input on the approach here.
