I was not really prepared for this interview. The interviewer asked me a puzzle. I don't remember the puzzle correctly, and I made a slight mistake somewhere. I was able to solve it in the end, but it did not impress the interviewer. He asked me to wait for the next round, but it never happened.
The problem was something like this: You have 5 camels that need to travel 500 miles. They require a certain amount of water to travel 100 miles. Water is only available at the start and at the destination. Each camel can carry enough water for itself for the next 100 miles. How do you transport the camels?
The question wasn't tough, but I messed up somewhere in the middle. In any case, I was able to solve it in the end.
