“Four minutes total, two attempts.”
“My first instinct was just Dijkstra and call it a day, which was wrong.”
“The core idea clicked pretty fast: use a frequency map, iterate through the array, and for each element check if its complement exists.”
“I went with the complement approach: probability of zero reds is (7/12)*(6/11) which gives 42/132, so at least one red is 1 minus that, about 0.682.”
“This was a lot to unpack.”
“My first instinct was brute force and I immediately knew that wasn't going to fly at that scale.”
“This one took me a minute to even parse correctly.”
“My first instinct was just run Dijkstra and call it a day, which is obviously wrong.”
“I went for the hash map approach first since it felt cleaner to explain.”
“The first instinct is binary search on the answer, which is right, but I almost missed the 'exactly K' part.”
Candidates most often report a technical phone screen (29 write-ups), a behavioral / leadership round (4), a recruiter screen (3) and a hiring manager screen (2).
Across 29 technical phone screen write-ups, the most tagged question topics are Algorithms & Data Structures (28 questions), Technical Trade-offs (16) and System Design (4).
