Spaceship Movement Calculation Contest

In 2048, humanity mines rare minerals from asteroids using fleets of autonomous spaceships, which require sophisticated algorithms for safe navigation. The document outlines a contest involving the calculation of time taken for various spaceship movement sequences based on given paces. Participants must compute the total time for each sequence and submit their results on a coding contest platform.

In 2048…
… humanity started mining rare minerals from the vast asteroid
belt situated between Mars and Jupiter, to fuel even more ambitious
engineering projects. To accomplish this, fleets of autonomous
spaceships were deployed, tirelessly shuttling precious resources
from asteroid mining sites back to an advanced space station
nearby.

Ensuring a safe return requires not just sophisticated technology,


but also ingenious algorithms capable of plotting routes through the
most treacherous environment known to humankind.

This contest is about steering
a spaceship. The movement of a
spaceship is described using pace.
My average pace
is 5 minutes
per kilometer

Contrary to velocity, pace is time


divided by distance.
▪ You are given a list of movement sequences of a spaceship
▪ A movement sequence is a list of paces
▪ A pace is represented by an integer
− "5" takes 5 units of time and moves 1 unit of space
− "4" takes 4 units of time and moves 1 unit of space
▪ For each sequence, calculate the time it takes to complete
▪ All integers will be greater than 0
