William Carroll 5df3bb4e40 Partition deepmind directory into two parts
Since I did not pass my one-site interview with DM, but I have been invited to
attempt again, I decided to partition this directory into two parts:
1. part_one: Hosting the exercises that I completed before my first attempt at
   earning the job.
2. part_two: Hosting the exercise that I will complete before my second attempt
   at earning the job.
