I had a random idea for a suitable exercise so I'm putting it here as a suggestion: gotta-catchem-all, an exercise where you collect trading cards and try to have the full collection.

You can start a new collection (empty set), get new cards but your collection doesn't improve for cards you already have, remove one to give to your little sister, combine collection with your best friend, select the shiny cards...

Another random idea, we have the possibility of introducing two concepts in one exercise, so I was thinking we could introduce comparisons #423 together with this one, since sets need to be ordered.

Hi @jiegillet , this issue is done now I think?

No, I ended up doing separate exercises. I have already written the about.md for sets, maybe I'll open a draft PR
