Interesting approach, thanks. Yeah, I don't mind a question and conversation like that to start things off. But I do think getting into something a little deeper (which you also mentioned) later in the interview is important, too.

The overflow thing would be about computing the median of some sub-range of a sorted array. It is an often-quizzed thing that comes up as an edge case in binary search of a large array, but could apply to anything where you need to select t

Huh, feels overly simple to me. How about something like the beginnings of a spreadsheet engine? Or.. count the number of distinctly shaped black regions in a bitmap image.

Same. I think it's probably easier on a touch screen than with mouse, but I'm stuck on level 10 for now. Maybe it's intentionally frustrating. Need to finish this level to unlock the last number I think, but I guess I've

Hmm, can someone educate me here? Why don't bit flips ever seem to impact the results of calculations in settings like big-data analytics on AWS? Is it a difference between server hardware managed by knowledgeable people and random har

I'm aware of this to an extent. Do you know of any list of what degree of parallelization to expect out of various components? I know this whole napkin-math thing is mostly futile and the answer should mostly be "go test it",

I guess everyone has their own preferences, I just find this opinion surprising given the wealth of other hikes in the country. As someone who grew up hiking in the White Mountains before moving to Washington, the mountains in Washington (a

It's higher than average/median in the US, but certainly not exceptional. Pretty normal for certain groups of people. There's a huge gap in miles driven between urban and rural area. US average is something like 13-15k miles

People (non-tech) don't tend to refer to "go to page 106" as using an index. The pages at the back of the book providing the word->page numbers lookup are commonly known as the book's "index"
