Alert Priority
RustRust
Advanced~4h
Alert Priority

Your team maintains an internal alert triage service. Each incoming alert carries five severity tags — tokens composed of a level indicator and a category code (e.g. 4S 5H 7C 8D JC). The ranking rules for these tag sets follow standard poker hand rankings.

Contact Cleanup
RustRust
Starter~2h
Contact Cleanup

You are cleaning imported contact records before they are saved into a CRM. Each record includes a freeform phone field entered by a human, so the data can contain spaces, dots, parentheses, hyphens, and an optional leading country code of 1.

Hailstone Cascade

Implement a steps function that computes how many cascade steps a hailstone particle takes to reach unit mass.

Cargo.toml
League Table
RustRust
Standard~3h

Compile a standings table from match results for a small sports league. Given a list of match results, produce a formatted standings table. Each result line contains two team names and an outcome, separated by semicolons:

Cargo.toml
Meter Reader
RustRust
Advanced~4h
Meter Reader

Read the digits shown on an industrial meter's segment display. Each digit is rendered as a 3-column x 4-row pattern of pipes (|), underscores (_), and spaces. Parse these patterns and return the corresponding numeric string.

The parcel reference checksum process is used to validate operational parcel identifiers. These normally contain dashes and look like: 3-598-21508-8

Cargo.toml
Priority Index
RustRust
Standard~3h
Priority Index

Build a priority index that maps individual codes to their priority levels. Your team maintains an internal incident management tool that groups alert codes by priority level.

Cargo.toml
Release Cadence
RustRust
Standard~4h
Release Cadence

A product team tracks how quickly a release ages across several cadence tiers. Given an age in seconds, calculate how old that release would be on:

Cargo.lock

Route Chains
RustRust
Advanced~4h
Route Chains

Arrange route segments into a circular path. You're given a collection of bidirectional route segments. Each segment connects two numbered stops — for example, a segment (2, 3) connects stop 2 to stop 3 and can be traversed in either direction.

Cargo.toml

Sensitivity Flags

Given a person's allergy score, determine whether or not they're allergic to a given item, and their full list of allergies.

Cargo.toml
Sensor Grid
RustRust

Sensor Grid

Add the adjacent hazard counts to a completed Sensor Grid board. Sensor Grid is a popular game where the user has to find the hazards using numeric hints that indicate how many hazards are directly adjacent (horizontally, vertically, diagonally) to a square.

Cargo.toml
Service Scorecard
RustRust
Standard~3h
Service Scorecard

Score a service scorecard. Service scorecards use the same scoring rules as the original bowling exercise, but the story is operational instead of a game. Keep track of the score across 10 windows and apply the same spare and strike bonuses.

Cargo.toml
Signal Weave
RustRust

You are building a patrol planning tool for a network of watchtowers on an 8×8 observation grid.

Cargo.toml
Wave Mixer
RustRust
Standard~3h
Wave Mixer

Implement a wave signal mixer that models two-component signals. In signal processing, a wave can be represented by two components: an in-phase component (real) and a quadrature component (imaginary).
