Phone Interview: The question was very open ended and related to Matrix (Basically, a form of Graph) Traversal, had to figure it out the exact requirements first and then come up with the sol. with the time constraints. P.S: I couldn't make it through the Phone Interview

Surprisingly the questions were found on the famous cracking the code interview. Like : find the lowest common ancestors of two nodes in a binary tree. (O(n) time). If each node has a pointer to parent, solve the problem in o(logn) time and o(1) space.

Third person: Given a 2-d array, write code to print it out in a snake pattern. For example, if the array is this: 1, 2, 3 4, 5, 6 7, 8, 9 the routine prints this: 1,2,3,6,9,8,7,4,5 The array is an NxN array. The final question was just how to write a connection pool (i.e, a class that returns connections to the user, and if the user is done, returns them back to the pool)

You're writing an application that receives a stream of individual items of data. The stream may be very long or very short, but you have no way of knowing how long it is (i.e. there's no trick to figuring out the size of the stream of data). How would you go about choosing m items such that any subset of m items was equally likely? (Not an even distribution of values, but just that any m items are equally likely to be chosen). So for example, m=1000, and the number of items in the stream, n, may be 1000, or 10000, or 100000000, or much much larger; there is no way to know how many.
