Today at work E. was doing more interviews…and then sometime thereafter–I’m not sure exactly what prompted it–but shortly thereafter he bet F. he couldn’t solve this interview question correctly in 15 minutes. And by correct, I don’t mean, works for most cases, but doesn’t fall apart on certain rare edge cases. Unlike a lot of interview questions generally speaking, this one is actually quite relevant to the type of stuff I do at work all day, and conceptually, its pretty simple–kind of deceptively simple. So right after F. turns in his answer, someone else walks by and asks what we’re all talking about and pretty soon half of everyone sitting nearby is discussing the question “oh that’s easy” one person says hearing the problem, course, that person not having actually tried to write out the correct solution completely…It was kind of entertaining
