Fast & Curious

Start date: July 3, 2021, 5 p.m. UTC
Given a number of cities located along a road, build a motorway between two cities to minimize the sum of distances from all cities to the easternmost one.

Ready, steady, go!

The first three fastest programmers to solve the challenge perfectly will be added to the Codility Hall of Fame, winning a package of swag and of course, bragging rights.

Curious to learn how you can improve your coding skills even further? The first-place winner will also get “The Clean Coder: A Code of Conduct for Professional Programmers” book to assist you with that.

Once the Fast & Curious Challenge has ended (on July 17th), you will still be able to take the challenge, and gain certificates, but will no longer be in the running for prizes.

Best of luck at your coding race!
