I like this one. The first part could be solved trivially with a naive approach. The second part is also not too complicated.
I started out with a simple merging algorithm that would check all ranges, except the one to merge, for overlaps.
With clever sorting, I can skip the search for mergable ranges and just iterate in reverse and build larger and larger ranges.
I haven't tried to merge adjacent ranges like 1..2 and 3..4 to 1..4. The solution is fast enough already when JIT/C2 compiled (200-250 ยตs).
