Received a LeetCode hard-level problem involving [dynamic programming/graph algorithms/tree traversal - whatever category it was]. The problem was fair but definitely required solid algorithmic thinking and optimization. Had to work through multiple approaches to get to the optimal solution. Time pressure was real but manageable if you're well-prepared.
