{{ block title }}Welcome to the Travelling Salesperson task! {{ endblock }} {{ block content }} {% if boardNumber == 1 %}

You are a post office worker in France. You are given the task to visit multiple cities to deliver packages. But as petrol prices have risen, you really want to take the shortest route possible to minimise the cost of your travels. For each week, you will get a fixed number of cities to visit.

Aim: Plan your route to minimise the distance covered.

The rules are simple:


Example of how to play:


This is an example of a week of work

  • Start by clicking on the first city of your choice. It can be anywhere. You will notice a red pin appearing on the starting city (as seen below).


  • Click on the next one to start your route.
  • Keep clicking on cities until the only one left is your starting city.
  • End your trip by clicking on the starting city.


  • Once you reach the end of your trip (back to the starting city), click on the ‘submit’ button at the bottom of the screen
  • Make sure that you've clicked on every city before you reach the end, else you will get an error on your path.

  • While you don’t have a time limit for this task, your time will be recorded.


    Click on the 'Next' button for a single practice round. The testing phase will start afterwards.
