#2Oh, that first question looks tasty. I dunno what a 'ReadyForZero' is, but the challenge could be fun.

#3I don't usually do these challenges, but this one was pretty fun. It's three problems long. Took me about 30 minutes.

It was worth a shot.

#5Three problems, algorithm-centric, each solvable with (some intelligent thought and) a few lines of (say) Python. Unsurprisingly, the payoff is "we're hiring; please send us your resume".
ReadyForZero appears to be a company that helps people get out of credit card debt by tracking what you owe to whom and recommending what to pay off in what order. They just got Series A funding.

#6Could that be a booger on the 1 key (numeric keypad)?

#7Reading the first problem, I think I am not ready for zero, it seems that the first problem is not well described.

#8These are very similar to (and easier than most of) the Project Euler problems. http://projecteuler.net/ -- Highly recommended for everyone.

You are looking for a sequence of 5 characters that differ by one character, but are otherwise identical (order matters). For example, an answer would be something like '89^hf' and '8z^hf'

#10Wasn't hard. The problems could be better explained, for example in the second one they should clarify that the binary tree is balanced and that each node is one character.
