Description

@honzajavorek

As a follow-up to #2180, I think the 'finds the shortest CNN sports article' exercise should be replaced:

  • While in most situations it passes ok, it too many too often fails on timeouts
  • Takes a long time to finish
  • Puts strain on CNN servers

The exercise is about scraping several detail pages, collecting some data, and calculating an aggregated result out of them. I think we can easily achieve this with a different website e.g. calculating some sports stats from https://www.fiba.basketball/en/ranking/men or something with https://european-union.europa.eu/institutions-law-budget/euro/countries-using-euro_en, dunno. But something where it makes just like 5-10 requests.
