+
+## Running the tests
+
+From the terminal, change to the base directory of the exercise then execute the tests with:
+
+```bash
+$ mix test
+```
+
+This will execute the test file found in the `test` subfolder -- a file ending in `_test.exs`
+
+Documentation:
+
+* [`mix test` - Elixir's test execution tool](https://hexdocs.pm/mix/Mix.Tasks.Test.html)
+* [`ExUnit` - Elixir's unit test library](https://hexdocs.pm/ex_unit/ExUnit.html)
+
+## Pending tests
+
+In test suites of practice exercises, all but the first test have been tagged to be skipped.
+
+Once you get a test passing, you can unskip the next one by commenting out the relevant `@tag :pending` with a `#` symbol.
+
+For example:
+
+```elixir
+# @tag :pending
+test "shouting" do
+  assert Bob.hey("WATCH OUT!") == "Whoa, chill out!"
+end
+```
+
+If you wish to run all tests at once, you can include all skipped test by using the `--include` flag on the `mix test` command:
+
+```bash
+$ mix test --include pending
+```
+
+Or, you can enable all the tests by commenting out the `ExUnit.configure` line in the file `test/test_helper.exs`.
+
+```elixir
+# ExUnit.configure(exclude: :pending, trace: true)
+```
+
+## Useful `mix test` options
+
+* `test/<FILE>.exs:LINENUM` - runs only a single test, the test from `<FILE>.exs` whose definition is on line `LINENUM`
+* `--failed` - runs only tests that failed the last time they ran
+* `--max-failures` - the suite stops evaluating tests when this number of test failures
+is reached
+* `--seed 0` - disables randomization so the tests in a single file will always be ran
+in the same order they were defined in
+
+## Submitting your solution
+
+You can submit your solution using the `exercism submit lib/gigasecond.ex` command.
+This command will upload your solution to the Exercism website and print the solution page's URL.
+
+It's possible to submit an incomplete solution which allows you to:
+
+- See how others have completed the exercise
+- Request help from a mentor
+
+## Need to get help?

+# Gigasecond
+
+Welcome to Gigasecond on Exercism's Elixir Track.
+If you need help running the tests or submitting your code, check out `HELP.md`.
+
+## Introduction
+
+The way we measure time is kind of messy.
+We have 60 seconds in a minute, and 60 minutes in an hour.
+This comes from ancient Babylon, where they used 60 as the basis for their number system.
+We have 24 hours in a day, 7 days in a week, and how many days in a month?
+Well, for days in a month it depends not only on which month it is, but also on what type of calendar is used in the country you live in.
+
+What if, instead, we only use seconds to express time intervals?
+Then we can use metric system prefixes for writing large numbers of seconds in more easily comprehensible quantities.
+
+- A food recipe might explain that you need to let the brownies cook in the oven for two kiloseconds (that's two thousand seconds).
+- Perhaps you and your family would travel to somewhere exotic for two megaseconds (that's two million seconds).
+- And if you and your spouse were married for _a thousand million_ seconds, you would celebrate your one gigasecond anniversary.
+
+~~~~exercism/note
+If we ever colonize Mars or some other planet, measuring time is going to get even messier.
+If someone says "year" do they mean a year on Earth or a year on Mars?
+
+The idea for this exercise came from the science fiction novel ["A Deepness in the Sky"][vinge-novel] by author Vernor Vinge.
+In it the author uses the metric system as the basis for time measurements.
+
+[vinge-novel]: https://www.tor.com/2017/08/03/science-fiction-with-something-for-everyone-a-deepness-in-the-sky-by-vernor-vinge/
+~~~~
+
+## Instructions
+
+Your task is to determine the date and time one gigasecond after a certain date.
+
+A gigasecond is one thousand million seconds.
+That is a one with nine zeros after it.
+
+If you were born on _January 24th, 2015 at 22:00 (10:00:00pm)_, then you would be a gigasecond old on _October 2nd, 2046 at 23:46:40 (11:46:40pm)_.
