title: Greatest product of five consecutive digits in a 1000-digit number
body: <p>I am working through the problems on project Euler and am not too certain if my understanding of the question is correct.</p>
  
  <p>Problem 8 is as follows:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Find the greatest product of five consecutive digits in the 1000-digit number.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I have taken this to mean the following:</p>
  
  <p>I need to find any five numbers that run consecutively in the 1000 digit number and then add these up to get the total. I am assuming that the size of the numbers could be anything, i.e. 1,2,3 or 12,13,14 or 123,124,124 or 1234,1235,1236 etc.</p>
  
  <p>Is my understanding of this correct, or have I misunderstood the question?</p>
  
  <p><strong>Note:</strong> Please don't supply code or the solution, that I need to solve myself.</p>
