It took about 2 months for them to get back to me on my application. They sent an e-mail asking me to complete a development test within 4 days.

The test consisted of 2 programming questions, each requiring the writing of a method within a class. I completed the test with the needed functions. I wasn't sure if I was allowed to simplify the code into helper functions, since they only asked for 1 function, so I left it the way it was. I did my best to optimize the code as much as possible, complete with comments and self-explanatory variables. The code was corrected for errors in every way I could possibly think of, and I was pretty sure it was error-free. I also created a simple main interface, since they did not explain if they would run the program using args[].

I e-mailed my completed test back. They then said they would get back to me no later than the Friday, a week after I completed the test. I received no reply on Friday, so I waited until Tuesday to do a follow-up. An automated response was sent back to me quickly, explaining that the position was highly competitive and that I was rejected. They gave me no reason as to why.

Write a program that returns the amount of cyclic representations of a word within a list.

i.e. {word, ordw} would return 1. {the, brown, fox, oxf} would return 3.

You are looking at a mirror and see a mirror image of an analog clock. Write a function that returns the correct time of the clock behind you.
