Process
This was a hiring hackathon. Some problems were given out, and we had to choose one.
The problem was based on a "world traveling challenge". It was a 2-day hackathon held at the Cisco Bangalore campus.
Questions
None. Problems were asked from that problem only. We had to minimize the overall complexity of the problem using the best-fit data structure.
