In the first round they asked several brain-teasing questions: a) At what time after 12 pm do the two hands of a clock intersect? b) If you have two points on a 5 by 5 grid, how would you find the shortest path between these two points, given that there are some obstacles on the grid, which you need to avoid? What parameter would you use to measure the performance of your model? c) A newspaper is holding a contest. People were distributed a newspaper and asked to choose a number between 0 and 100, and those whose number is closest to 2/3 of the average of all the chosen numbers wins the contest. What number would people choose the most? If you plot the histogram of the chosen numbers, what would it look like?
