Neutral ExperienceNo Offer

Process

The 1st round is a 30-minute on-campus interview. It includes general questions about your CV, your motivation, and some brainteasers. Then, there are 4 phone interviews (45 minutes each) with more math and computer science problems. Also, I was asked the usual personality and "walk me through your resume" questions. All interviewers were very nice.

Questions

Detailed questions about Black-Scholes, Ito's lemma, Brownian motion.

A line of 100 airline passengers is waiting to board a plane. They each hold a ticket to one of the 100 seats on that flight. (For convenience, let's say that the nth passenger in line has a ticket for the seat number n.)

Unfortunately, the first person in line is crazy and will ignore the seat number on their ticket, picking a random seat to occupy. All of the other passengers are quite normal and will go to their proper seat unless it is already occupied. If it is occupied, they will then find a free seat to sit in, at random.

What is the probability that the last (100th) person to board the plane will sit in their proper seat (#100)?
