Interval Schedule · D4

Pick non-overlapping jobs for the most total value.

Tap jobs to schedule them; they can't overlap. The earliest-finish greedy maximises the COUNT of jobs — but here you maximise value, so one fat job can beat three thin ones.
Practice — no rating pressure. Get as close to the optimum as you can; each play teaches the pattern.

About this puzzle

Interval Schedule — practice the decision, scored against the optimum

What does the Interval Schedule puzzle teach?

Earliest-finish greedy maximises the number of jobs, not their value — weighted scheduling is a DP.

Why do interviews ask about this?

Weighted interval scheduling is the DP interview: pick non-overlapping intervals for maximum value, not maximum count.

How is it scored?

The engine computes the provably-optimal answer for the exact instance you played (dynamic programming, shortest-path, or exhaustive search — never a heuristic) and scores your attempt as a percentage of it. No login needed to see your score.
