The Challenges

The application process for this role gives you the opportunity to demonstrate your general ability to see and understand the underlying nature of data, and reduce it so its essence can be communicated more easily to others.

Each challenge will present you with some data, from which you need to extract something.

We've designed them to be as accessible as possible, not necessarily requiring any specific technical skills. If you have a computer and internet connection then you have everything you need, but feel free to use whatever resources you have at your disposal.

Coding skills and an aptitude for abstract mathematical concepts are not essential to complete the challenges, but they will help, and are definitely of interest to us for this role.

Submission

When you think you've figured them all out, or as many as possible, submit your findings using the form provided, along with any brief supporting notes or thoughts. You should also upload your CV in PDF or DOCX format.
