I applied directly on their website and heard back from a recruiter the next day. He was incredibly nice and accommodating; we basically just chit-chatted about the role and my background.

Then there was a technical phone screen, which involved writing code on a shared screen. This person was not as nice as the recruiter. He asked very open-ended questions but seemed to expect very specific answers. The interviewer began by asking me a variety of soft technical questions based on projects and technologies I had worked with, and then the remaining time was spent on a coding question. It was a simple and reasonable question, but it just didn't click for me. I panicked and failed, and was notified the next day with a generic response.

Implement a function that takes two arguments:

1. The number of six-sided dice.
2. A target value.

Calculate the probability that rolling that number of dice will add up to that target value.
