Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Consider a scenario where multiple photocopy jobs come in at the same time from different students. Assume you have two machines with different speeds. Formulate an algorithm that optimizes job scheduling across these two machines, explaining your reasoning.

💡 Hint: Think about how to best utilize resources to minimize delays.

Question 2

How would you modify your scheduling algorithm if job completion times varied by machine (e.g., some machines take longer for certain jobs due to maintenance needs)?

💡 Hint: Consider how variations in machine capabilities could impact your scheduling logic.
