# From Berlin go to a border.

# Visit 5 sites.

### Process of city selection

# First step

Take a map of Europe.

Draw line connecting Berlin and Kiev.

line: y = ax + b

If city.population >= 500 000 and city.location <= 50km from line

add city to List1

Else:

ignore

city += 1

# now I have a list of cities selected by location and population

List1 = [city1, city2, city3, city4, ...]

# Second step

For each city in List1, check city.numberofmemorials.

If city.numberofmemorials >= 10

add to List2

Else:

ignore

# Now I have a list of cities with a sufficient number of memorials.

#Third step

For each city in List2, check city.hosteprice and availability

If city.hostelprice <= 20E and hostel is available from a to b,

add city to SelectedCities

Else:

ignore

#To finally select a city, I can choose it by the largest number of memorials

from SelectedCities choose city with city.numberofmemorials --> maximum.

### Train connections

Check train connection from city.actual to city.next

If train leaves in 1h:

if it is 13-15h:

go for lunch,
