 # Instructions
 
-Take a nested list and return a single flattened list with all values except nil/null.
+Take a nested array of any depth and return a fully flattened array.
 
-The challenge is to write a function that accepts an arbitrarily-deep nested list-like structure and returns a flattened structure without any nil/null values.
+Note that some language tracks may include null-like values in the input array, and the way these values are represented varies by track.
+Such values should be excluded from the flattened array.
 
-For example:
+Additionally, the input may be of a different data type and contain different types, depending on the track.
 
-input: [1,[2,3,null,4],[null],5]
+Check the test suite for details.
 
-output: [1,2,3,4,5]
+## Example
+
+input: `[1, [2, 6, null], [[null, [4]], 5]]`
+
+output: `[1, 2, 6, 4, 5]`

+# Introduction
+
+A shipment of emergency supplies has arrived, but there's a problem.
+To protect from damage, the items — flashlights, first-aid kits, blankets — are packed inside boxes, and some of those boxes are nested several layers deep inside other boxes!
+
+To be prepared for an emergency, everything must be easily accessible in one box.
+Can you unpack all the supplies and place them into a single box, so they're ready when needed most?
