If you're training for problems like this, then look for something
less focused on a specific programming language. As we said earlier,
solving these kinds of problems isn't really a matter of Python
programming at this level: you want to look specifically for material
about algorithms.
For this kind of thing, definitely look into something like the
"Develop a strong understanding of algorithms and data structures"
recommendations at:
https://www.google.com/about/careers/students/guide-to-technical-development.html
I've also heard very good things about Skiena's "The Algorithm Design Manual":
http://www.algorist.com/
The author has a bunch of videos and lecture material online that
might help you:
http://www3.cs.stonybrook.edu/~algorith/video-lectures/
In particular, see Lectures 18 and 19.
*Especially Lecture 19*.
You will see a problem being explained that you should be *very*
interested in. :) Here's a link just to give you a taste:

I hope that this helps point you in the right direction. Good luck!
