![The Guardian asked Bill Cook, of the University of Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, to find the shortest route between 50 constituencies all across England, in connection with the incoming elections. And printed out the result. Bill Cook is actually part of the team that solved the travelling salesman problem for the Grand Tour of all (!) the towns in Sweden, resolution that I used in my introduction to simulation course [and public talk during my 2013 Grand Tour of Australia, with only 8 cities and no optimisation whatsoever!]](https://i0.wp.com/static.guim.co.uk/sys-images/Guardian/Pix/pictures/2015/4/21/1429594192694/2ce141da-c003-43df-94be-a9dc0e2e6411-552x600.png?resize=450%2C488)
