Question 1
It was a long test with very less time for answering the questions. Answers should be right on top your head. One of the Speed Coding question was to find the minimum amount of power that Gandalf should carry so that when he fights with many minions and reaches the boss, he should at least have power = 1.
60 minutes Correlation One MCQ - It has many questions which are extremely subjective and that is what is really frustrating.. Some questions are just poorly worded.. Gave interview some time last month. Not sure of the outcome
