Adds some of the code I generated while studying for a role transfer at Google using the fantastic resource, InterviewCake.com. This work predates the mono-repo. I should think of ways to DRY up this code and the code in crack_the_coding_interview, but I'm afraid I'm creating unnecessary work for myself that way.
