Education background confirmation. Sponsorship. Why this position, why quantitative trading? Why Optiver? Do you have something that you have been sticking to for years? Can you tell me a period (from your internships) that you receive bad remarks? What are their potential competing candidates and other companies that they should pay attention to?

Perfectly efficient market. There are 2 companies: A with the success probability of 2/3 and B with success probability of 1/2. If both companies success or fail nothing special happen. But if one success and the other not succes, then the not succeded company goes bankrupt. Both companies are worth $50. Question: How each companies price would change if both succed?
