title: "Challenge 185: 2026 Winter Games Day 6: Figure Skating"
challengeType: 29

# --description--
Given an array of judge scores and optional penalties, calculate the final score for a figure skating routine.
The first argument is an array of 10 judge scores, each a number from 0 to 10. Remove the highest and lowest judge scores and sum the remaining 8 scores to get the base score.
Any additional arguments passed to the function are penalties. Subtract all penalties from the base score to get the final score.
# --hints--
`compute_score([10, 8, 9, 6, 9, 8, 8, 9, 7, 7], 1)` should return `64`.
```js
({test: () => { runPython(`
from unittest import TestCase
TestCase().assertEqual(compute_score([10, 8, 9, 6, 9, 8, 8, 9, 7, 7], 1), 64)`)
}})
```
`compute_score([10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10])` should return `80`.
```js
({test: () => { runPython(`
from unittest import TestCase
TestCase().assertEqual(compute_score([10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10]), 80)`)
}})
```
`compute_score([10, 8, 9, 10, 9, 8, 8, 9, 10, 7], 1, 2, 1)` should return `67`.
```js
({test: () => { runPython(`
from unittest import TestCase
TestCase().assertEqual(compute_score([10, 8, 9, 10, 9, 8, 8, 9, 10, 7], 1, 2, 1), 67)`)
}})
```
`compute_score([8.0, 8.5, 9.0, 8.5, 9.0, 8.0, 9.0, 8.5, 9.0, 8.5], 0.5, 1.0)` should return `67.5`.
```js
({test: () => { runPython(`
from unittest import TestCase
TestCase().assertEqual(compute_score([8.0, 8.5, 9.0, 8.5, 9.0, 8.0, 9.0, 8.5, 9.0, 8.5], 0.5, 1.0), 67.5)`)
}})
```
`compute_score([6.0, 8.5, 7.0, 9.0, 7.5, 8.0, 6.5, 9.5, 7.0, 8.0], 1.5, 0.5, 0.5)` should return `59`.
```js
({test: () => { runPython(`
from unittest import TestCase
TestCase().assertEqual(compute_score([6.0, 8.5, 7.0, 9.0, 7.5, 8.0, 6.5, 9.5, 7.0, 8.0], 1.5, 0.5, 0.5), 59)`)
}})
