+
+There are some stones on Bob's table in a row, and each of them can be red, green or blue, indicated by the characters `R`, `G`, and `B`.
+
+Help Bob find the minimum number of stones he needs to remove from the table so that the stones in each pair of adjacent stones have
+different colors.
+
+Examples:
+
+```
+"RGBRGBRGGB" => 1
+"RGGRGBBRGRR" => 3
+"RRRRGGGGBBBB" => 9
+```
