Process

I applied online. The process took 5 days.

Standard Apple interview with one of the Engineering Managers. Went over resume and projects, was then asked a technical question at the end. The technical question seemed simple, but was also vague at the same time. I asked them what kind of buttons they were and the interviewer just said they're normal buttons.

Questions

There are two parallel train tracks, each of them has trains heading towards a finish line. You get 1 Arduino and 2 buttons. How do you use those to figure out who gets to the finish line first?
