Process
- Received an offer to interview via email.
- Had a phone screen with the recruiter.
- Had a phone screen with questions from a software engineer. The engineer was very difficult to understand. I asked him to pick up the handset, and he said he was unable to.
First question: For a randomly ordered bucket of numbers 1 through 3000 with one number missing, how would you detect which number is missing?
