Lots of "Green book" style questions. Got really exhausted by the end of the 4 hour on-site. One thing that I didn't like is that the interviewer asked me to give a presentation on my research as if I am talking to a conference, without being told to prepare this ahead of time. She even asked if I had slides! Other than that people were generally friendly.

A rabbit is trying to get from point A (0,0) to point B (12,8) without overshooting, but he can only move up or right. He always alternates his step sizes between moving 2 units in a single direction and moving 4 units in a single direction. Compute the number of ways the rabbit can start at point A and end at point B.
