What you practice

Most auctions are quiet; the hot one takes thousands of bids a second in its last minute, all fighting over one price. You will put every bid and the close in one order that holds when machines fail, with exactly one winner.

This Exercise is part of Pro. The free Exercise and the Sandbox are open to everyone.
