I keep beating myself up about what I said during the interview. After something’s said, I must always think of a better response hours later, which is unfortunate.

You should be proud to have been selected for the interview. Don’t let regret take that away from you. We all think back on how we could have done things better but that’s how we learn. We are all in the same boat now and just waiting for an outcome letter.

It’s to see how much one can contribute to a crisis situation. Also to check whether anyone is dominant or quite . It does  pays part in selection along with problem solving and personal interview.

17 minutes

I think there were two puzzles, one with a bridge and one with a grid. Most people got 17 minutes for the bridge, and 1000 for the grid.

Do you guys think your problem solving process was good? I think I solved mine in the most efficient way :p

 Was it similar to this question by any chance.
‘. Adam, Bob, Clair and Dave are out walking: They come to rickety old wooden bridge. The bridge is weak and only able to carry the weight of two of them at a time. Because they are in a rush and the light is fading they must cross in the minimum time possible and must carry a torch (flashlight,) on each crossing.

They only have one torch and it can't be thrown. Because of their different fitness levels and some minor injuries they can all cross at different speeds. Adam can cross in 1 minute, Bob in 2 minutes, Clair in 5 minutes and Dave in 10 minutes.

Find the minimum time in which all can cross’

i think they both count into the result because there was one person watching the group interview and one writing notes behind
im always stressed

It's just random, based on day by day (everyone on the same day gets the same puzzle). Think of it this way: would they really go out of the way to tailor puzzles to everyone? It's simply not efficient and unnecessary. The puzzle itself wasn't too hard because they wanted to see how you thought and problem solved.

which one did you get turtle

I had the 10x10 grid where you had to all all the numbers up. The answer is 1000, and I solved it really fast by rearranging the equation.
