Summary

Write a simple JavaScript application that given a number of pennies will calculate the minimum number of Sterling coins needed to make that amount.

Eg. 123p = 1 x £1, 1 x 20p, 1 x 2p, 1 x 1p

You should be prepared to spend at least two hours on it.

Performance Hack - December 2013

Legacy of the hack

• The majority of the hacks will be be made a reality
• Pretty bad performance bug was found and fixed!
• The Rashboard hack will help developer teams understand the real-time performance of the site
• Everyone was excited about the potential of RUM data after James's talk
• N&K data developers joined in and were keen to develop ideas useful to News
• Great to see the unsurmountable stairs between floor 3/4 start to break down as everyone worked and chatted in the same space for 2 days
