add notices to those who wish for a greater challenge

We add the following level-3 header to help people identify text
they may wish to skip if they wish for a greater challenge:

```
```

After that notice we add:

```
**If you want a greater challenge, don't read any further**:
just try to understand the program via the source.

If you get stuck, come back and read below for additional hints and information.
```

And sometimes follow with:

```
```

Or sometimes follow with:

```
```

Where the alt code impacts a "greater challenge", we add instead:

```
**If you want a greater challenge, don't read any further**:
just try to understand the program without looking at the Alternate code.

If you get stuck, come back and look at the Alternate code.
```

And where a given command impacts a "greater challenge", we add instead:

```
**If you want a greater challenge, don't read any further**:
just try to understand the program without running the command below.

If you get stuck, come back and run the following command:
```

Perform `make www` to perform the above and test under macOS.
