Neutral ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I underwent one round of online assessment before I was rejected.

I received the online assessment a few days after I applied, and it had to be completed within two weeks.

The assessment consisted of 15 questions covering math, statistics, computer science, and general IQ.

Questions

You have a worker and a gold bar. The worker will work for you for 15 days. He must have x/15 of the gold bar after the xth day of work.

What is the minimum number of cuts of the gold bar you need to make to pay the worker?
