+# Help
+
+## Running the tests
+
+To run the tests run the command `go test` from within the exercise directory.
+
+If the test suite contains benchmarks, you can run these with the `--bench` and `--benchmem`
+flags:
+
+    go test -v --bench . --benchmem
+
+Keep in mind that each reviewer will run benchmarks on a different machine, with
+different specs, so the results from these benchmark tests may vary.
+
+## Submitting your solution
+
+You can submit your solution using the `exercism submit grains.go` 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 [Go track's documentation](https://exercism.org/docs/tracks/go)
+- [Exercism's support channel on gitter](https://gitter.im/exercism/support)
+- The [Frequently Asked Questions](https://exercism.org/docs/using/faqs)
+
+Should those resources not suffice, you could submit your (incomplete) solution to request mentoring.
+
+To get help if you're having trouble, you can use one of the following resources:
+
+- [How to Write Go Code](https://golang.org/doc/code.html)
+- [Effective Go](https://golang.org/doc/effective_go.html)
+- [Go Resources](http://golang.org/help)

+# Grains
+
+Welcome to Grains on Exercism's Go Track.
+If you need help running the tests or submitting your code, check out `HELP.md`.
+
+## Instructions
+
+Calculate the number of grains of wheat on a chessboard given that the number
+on each square doubles.
+
+There once was a wise servant who saved the life of a prince. The king
+promised to pay whatever the servant could dream up. Knowing that the
+king loved chess, the servant told the king he would like to have grains
+of wheat. One grain on the first square of a chess board, with the number
+of grains doubling on each successive square.
+
+There are 64 squares on a chessboard (where square 1 has one grain, square 2 has two grains, and so on).
+
+Write code that shows:
+
+- how many grains were on a given square, and
+- the total number of grains on the chessboard
+
+## For bonus points
+
+Did you get the tests passing and the code clean? If you want to, these
+are some additional things you could try:
+
+- Optimize for speed.
+- Optimize for readability.
+
+Then please share your thoughts in a comment on the submission. Did this
+experiment make the code better? Worse? Did you learn anything from it?
