Jobs that combine Flex and Rails don’t come down the pike too often. Even more rare is one from a start up with a lot of buzz like Blist.

Speaking of pikes the job is in Seattle so all you Northwest Flex/Railers send in your resume and the solution to Blist’s programming challenge.

Without using any built in date or time functions, write a function or method that accepts two mandatory arguments. The first argument is a string of the format “[H]H:MM {AM|PM}” and the second argument is an integer. Assume the integer is the number of minutes to add to the string. The return value of the function should be a string of the same format as the first argument. For example AddMinutes(”9:13 AM”, 10) would return “9:23 AM”. The exercise isn’t meant to be too hard. I just want to see how you code. Feel free to do it procedurally or in an object oriented way, whichever you prefer. Use any language you want. Write production quality code.
