June 1, 2009
Neutral ExperienceNo Offer

Process

After applying online, I received a call from a software developer at Goldman Sachs. He primarily asked about my previous programming experience.

He also inquired about object-oriented design, such as the difference between a class and an object.

He then presented some logic questions. He mentioned that I had answered the first logic question too quickly, as I had encountered the concept before. Consequently, he gave me another question.

Questions

He also posed the following logic question.

Suppose you are in a dark room by a table. There are 3 coins on the table, but you cannot see them and cannot tell just by feeling them if they are heads or tails.

How can you split up the coins so that there are two groups containing the same number of heads?
