Take a ladder with 5 steps, write a function that gives all the possible combinations of either 1,2, or 3 steps, in any order, to get to the 5th step, and returns the total number of combinations. So some of the possibilities would be [1,1,1,1,1], [1,1,1,2], [1,1,2,1], etc. Then he asked the same question with order not being considered, so [1,1,1,2] and [1,1,2,1] are the same solution.

Follow up: What's the fastest way you could find the median? What is the runtime? Oh.. and yes, code your answer(s) in any language of your preference.

You have a function f(p) that returns an array of linked pages e.g f(homepage) = {page1, page2, page3}. Or f(page1) = {page4, page5}. If there is no linked pages function will return null. And we say one site is a good site if we can get to any page of that site in a less than 6 clicks. The task was to write a function that will check is it a good site or not using f(p).
