I opened attempted to improve wording by senarclens · Pull Request #951 · exercism/cpp · GitHub which started by fixing a typo (exiting → exciting) in the exercise description. Eventually I also tried to reduce the length of some sentences and added hints that references are expected where appropriate (to allow the reader to focus on the problem at hand).
I hope you don’t mind some constructive criticism. While the exercise is well done, it does, in my point of view, help little to introduce two very important concepts (auto and smart pointers) at the same time. Even Vaeng’s beautiful sample solution (vaeng's solution for Power of Troy in C++ on Exercism) does not even include a single occurance of auto.
Either way - I hope the PR is helpful.
Best, Gerald
