Enjoyable little coding challenge from @cassidoo this week.
Solved in Ruby (using Rails's Active Support for time munging)
The problem: buttondown.com/cassidoo/archiv

def find_longest_time_gap(times) = times.map { Time.zone.strptime(_1, '%H:%M') }.sort.each_cons(2).map { (_2 - _1).to_i }.max / 60

@andycroll `each_cons` yes please 👏🏻 (`sort` is unnecessary)

@benpickles @andycroll Only if you presume that the times arrive in order (I didn’t)
