Kristofer Koishigawa 6cfd0fc503 fix: improve Project Euler descriptions, challenge seeds, and test cases (#38016)
* fix: improve Project Euler descriptions and test case

Improve formatting of Project Euler test descriptions. Also add poker hands array and new test case for problem 54

* feat: add typeof tests and gave functions proper names for first 100 challenges

* fix: continue fixing test descriptions and adding "before test" sections

* fix: address review comments

* fix: adjust grids in 18 and 67 and fix some text that reference files rather than the given arrays

* fix: implement bug fixes and improvements from review

* fix: remove console.log statements from seed and solution

## Description
<section id='description'>
By listing the first six prime numbers: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, and 13, we can see that the 6th prime is 13.
What is the `n`th prime number?
</section>
## Instructions
<section id='instructions'>
</section>
## Tests
<section id='tests'>
```yml
tests:
- text: <code>nthPrime(6)</code> should return a number.
testString: assert(typeof nthPrime(6) === 'number');
- text: <code>nthPrime(6)</code> should return 13.
testString: assert.strictEqual(nthPrime(6), 13);
- text: <code>nthPrime(10)</code> should return 29.
testString: assert.strictEqual(nthPrime(10), 29);
- text: <code>nthPrime(100)</code> should return 541.
testString: assert.strictEqual(nthPrime(100), 541);
- text: <code>nthPrime(1000)</code> should return 7919.
testString: assert.strictEqual(nthPrime(1000), 7919);
- text: <code>nthPrime(10001)</code> should return 104743.
testString: assert.strictEqual(nthPrime(10001), 104743);
```
</section>
## Challenge Seed
<section id='challengeSeed'>
<div id='js-seed'>
```js
function nthPrime(n) {
// Good luck!
return true;
}
nthPrime(10001);
```
</div>
</section>
## Solution
<section id='solution'>
```js
const nthPrime = n => {
let pN = 2;
let step = 0;
while (step < n) {
let isPrime = true;
let rootN = Math.sqrt(pN);
for (let i = 2; i <= rootN; i++) {
if (!(pN % i)) {
isPrime = false;
break;
}
}
isPrime ? step++ : '';
pN++;
}
return pN - 1;
}
```
