Your task

  1. Group the bookings by room.
  2. Within each room, sort by start time and check whether any booking starts before the previous one ends.
  3. Identify the one room with a real overlap, and the exact overlapping window.

Prompt idea:

Here are today's meeting room bookings. Find any room with two overlapping bookings, and tell me the exact time window where they conflict.

Check Your Result

Need a hint?

Sort bookings by room, then by start time, and look for a start time that falls before the previous booking's end time for that room.
