I like tending bar. I like it a lot. Except when I hate it. Like tonight. Not because it's dead (it is) but because of a customer. Worse, it's someone I like. And now loathe.

PUBLIC TRANSPORT SCHEDULE INTERPRETATION FUN CHALLENGE

By komet (Thu May 25, 2006 at 10:37:19 AM EST) morons, buses, trains, trams, public transport, idiocy, Fetal Alcohol Syndrome, European education systems, Switzerland, time travel, centipedes, algorithms, welfare state, cowwqas., _-_ (all tags)

Welcome to the inaugural Public Transport Schedule Interpretation Fun Challenge (PTSIFC), in which I invite you to pit your wits against the vagaries of riding public transport in an unknown land.

The task is simple, and I will not subject you to the horrors of finding out which bus you have to take and where the bus stop is. No, for now, you merely have to devise an algorithm to determine how long you will have to wait until your bus or tram arrives. At your disposal is a schedule (example here) and your own wristwatch.

Solution under the fold.
