I saw this statement on the internet, "A post to Hacker News argues that FedEx’s Memphis hub is 315 miles from the optimal point for serving all America’s major cities. "
The math problem this raises is how much shorter the total routes would be if the hub was moved to the theoretical optimum. I'm looking for a ballpark percentage here, since there's really not much information about which cities and how much each city is weighted.
You clever interview puzzlers, how would you go about solving the problem?
