4 tasks in Codility. The first one was about C++ basics like dynamic_cast etc, 4-choice Second one classic parsing exercise in C++ using string, maps, arrays, however very badly specified so that correct solution was simply not feasible in given time, unless you neglect most possible inputs and "go straight to dumbest implementation" that might or might not pass Codility scoring test. Third question is about dynamic programming, in-depth search of cheapest route. Fourth was numerical exercise, relative calculation on angles maybe easy but certainly might be tricky.
