Process

They specifically said they wouldn't ask any riddle-type questions, but this was a lie.

They led with a riddle but called it a warm-up question. I had assumed it would be coding-related.

Questions

They asked me this riddle: https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/puzzle-measure-4l-using-given-3-buckets/

Then they told me to solve it for any number of buckets with any number of liters.
