Wow! c.l.py is allmost like an AI program generator. But I guess it helps to ask questions about problems that programmers find interresting :-) The "linear" approach is pretty simple to code and understand. I am just afraid what happens when many users tries to book that 14 day conference in the calendar sometimes this year. 365 * 24 * 60 = 525,600 booleans in the array Well ok a few MBytes ain't too bad on a modern machine. It would even be possible to cut the resolution down to 15 minutes. Yielding 35,040 bools, but the solution is still O^2 with regards to size of "search window" and number of events. Bengts/Jims and Jordans solutions seems to be relatively similar. I will use one of those instead of my own code.
