Examples
- Circles dividing the planeCircles dividing the plane
- Build a pair of spies that will throw stones into a riverBuild a pair of spies that will throw stones into a river
Arguments
- For: They are on this site already but in many cases transformed into a code-challenge in despair (score is the complexity O(n) of your algorithm with n equals to 17) or fastest-code or popularity-contest just not to be closed.
- Against: There are only few good challenges of this kind and thus may be rare on this site.
- Against: It might motivate users to post challenges which are well-known in the literature and thus pose no value to the site.
