 Validating a Number
 ------
+
 Strings of length 1 or less are not valid. Spaces are allowed in the input,
 but they should be stripped before checking. All other non-digit characters
 are disallowed.
 
-As an example of a valid string, here is a fictitious Canadian Social Insurance
-Number.

 The first step of the Luhn algorithm is to double every second digit,
 starting from the right. We will be doubling
 
 ```
-_4_ 4_4 _8_
+4_3_ 1_8_ 0_4_ 6_6_
 ```
 
 If doubling the number results in a number greater than 9 then subtract 9
 from the product. The results of our doubling:
 
 ```

+8+5+6+9+2+4+7+8+0+3+8+3+3+4+3+7 = 80
 ```
 
 If the sum is evenly divisible by 10, then the number is valid. This number is valid!
