+# Help
+
+## 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/pop_count.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?
+
+If you'd like help solving the exercise, check the following pages:
+
+- The [Elixir track's documentation](https://exercism.org/docs/tracks/elixir)
+- The [Elixir track's programming category on the forum](https://forum.exercism.org/c/programming/elixir)
+- [Exercism's programming category on the forum](https://forum.exercism.org/c/programming/5)
+- The [Frequently Asked Questions](https://exercism.org/docs/using/faqs)
+
+Should those resources not suffice, you could submit your (incomplete) solution to request mentoring.
+
+If you're stuck on something, it may help to look at some of the [available resources](https://exercism.org/docs/tracks/elixir/resources) out there where answers might be found.

+# Eliud's Eggs
+
+Welcome to Eliud's Eggs on Exercism's Elixir Track.
+If you need help running the tests or submitting your code, check out `HELP.md`.
+
+## Introduction
+
+Your friend Eliud inherited a farm from her grandma Tigist.
+Her granny was an inventor and had a tendency to build things in an overly complicated manner.
+The chicken coop has a digital display showing an encoded number representing the positions of all eggs that could be picked up.
+
+Eliud is asking you to write a program that shows the actual number of eggs in the coop.
+
+The position information encoding is calculated as follows:
+
+1. Scan the potential egg-laying spots and mark down a `1` for an existing egg or a `0` for an empty spot.
+2. Convert the number from binary to decimal.
+3. Show the result on the display.
+
+Example 1:
+
+```text
+Chicken Coop:
+ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
+|E| |E|E| | |E|
+
+Resulting Binary:
+ 1 0 1 1 0 0 1
+
+Decimal number on the display:
+89
+
+Actual eggs in the coop:
+4
+```
+
+Example 2:
+
+```text
+Chicken Coop:
+ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
+| | | |E| | | | |
+
+Resulting Binary:
+ 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0
+
+Decimal number on the display:
+16
+
+Actual eggs in the coop:
+1
+```
+
+## Instructions
+
+Your task is to count the number of 1 bits in the binary representation of a number.
+
+## Restrictions
+
+Keep your hands off that bit-count functionality provided by your standard library!
+Solve this one yourself using other basic tools instead.
