In a semi-related, semi-off-topic way, there was this challenge of going through all the subway stations of the Paris underground, during the same day (and if possible in the fastest way possible):

The funny part was that they wrote a program to calculate and optimize the time to do that, using the length of the lines and the little public info they had; and I thought it was pretty cool.

- js2 11y agoWhen I visited Venice last year, I briefly considered whether I could cross all of its bridges at night while the city slept. But I quickly learned that many of the bridges are private, and I didn't really have a feasable way to plan a route in the few days I was there. I'm not even sure I can figure out what/where all the bridges are. It will have to remain for a future trip, should I ever go back.
