 ==== Solution
 
-Bitwise operations aren't quite as useful in Clojure as they are in
-systems languages like C or C\++, but the techniques learned in those
-systems languages can still be useful. Clojure exposes a number of
-bitwise operations in its core namespace, all prefixed with +bit-+.

 One place bitwise operations really shine is in compressing a large
 number of binary flags into a single value.
