+======================================
+Gilded Rose Requirements Specification
+======================================
+
+Hi and welcome to team Gilded Rose. As you know, we are a small inn with a prime location in a
+prominent city ran by a friendly innkeeper named Allison. We also buy and sell only the finest goods.
+Unfortunately, our goods are constantly degrading in quality as they approach their sell by date. We
+have a system in place that updates our inventory for us. It was developed by a no-nonsense type named
+Leeroy, who has moved on to new adventures. Your task is to add the new feature to our system so that
+we can begin selling a new category of items. First an introduction to our system:
+
+- All items have a `SellIn` value which denotes the number of days we have to sell the item
+- All items have a `Quality` value which denotes how valuable the item is
+- At the end of each day our system lowers both values for every item
+
+Pretty simple, right? Well this is where it gets interesting:
+
+[//]: # (- Once the sell by date has passed, `Quality` degrades twice as fast)
+[//]: # (- The `Quality` of an item is never negative)
+[//]: # (- "Aged Brie" actually increases in `Quality` the older it gets)
+
+[//]: # (- The `Quality` of an item is never more than 50)
+[//]: # (- "Sulfuras", being a legendary item, never has to be sold or decreases in `Quality`)
+[//]: # (- "Backstage passes", like aged brie, increases in `Quality` as its `SellIn` value approaches;)
+
+[//]: # (  `Quality` increases by 2 when there are 10 days or less and by 3 when there are 5 days or less but)
+
+[//]: # (  `Quality` drops to 0 after the concert)
+
+We have recently signed a supplier of conjured items. This requires an update to our system:
+
+- "Conjured" items degrade in `Quality` twice as fast as normal items
+
+Feel free to make any changes to the `updateQuality` method and add any new code as long as everything
+still works correctly. However, do not alter the Item class or Items property as those belong to the
+goblin in the corner who will insta-rage and one-shot you as he doesn't believe in shared code
+ownership (you can make the `updateQuality` method and Items property static if you like, we'll cover
+for you).
+
+Just for clarification, an item can never have its `Quality` increase above 50, however "Sulfuras" is a
+legendary item and as such its `Quality` is 80 and it never alters.
+
