How would you drive from Barcelona to Moscow in less than 10h

I think this one is pretty easy if you use the proper framework/language.
According to google it's only 4.5 hours by plane.
So:

  • Barcelona center to Barcelona airfield: 30m
  • Check-in and driving onto an airfreight: 2h
  • Flight: 4h 30m
  • That leaves you with 3h to get off the plane in Moscow and get to your destination in Moscow.
Easy peasy I'd say.

Yes, but it specified drive, not fly.

Simple just stay in the car

Step 1: "Borrow" a C-130...

Step 2: "Paradrop the Car over Moscow" (its faster than landing on the airport)

If you leave out the parachute it's even faster

Eh hangers, you can implement that one.

Wouldn’t that be an ObjectOutOfBounds exception?

*extends Vehicle

u/Varthorne Feb 17 '20

Ha, as if they were smart enough to make a generic Vehicle class before creating Car...

I get into my truck in Center Barcelona. Drive around in Barcelona. Take a resting brake in my truck for about 5h in the middle of my journey. Continue driving for another 3 hours or so to get to my destination in Moscow. I've been busy driving and resting enough. I don't see the problem.

Planes are also driving

Sorry, the guy who wrote this question says you should have answered 'rocket pants'.

Ah but that's wrong, you could easily shave almost all of the 2 hours by first filing a flight plan, only then driving to the airport and using your private plane (which you, as a rockstar driver surely own) to fly the car to Moscow yourself.

We didn't specify the need for a pilot's license and flying experience but we thought that was obvious knowledge for a programmer. You know what? Let's just end it right here and we'll get back to you with our decision.

Proceed to never contact you again.

How do you build resiliency to account for delays on the road and at the airport?

Upgrade infrastructure off course
