Process

Applied online.

Received an email stating I would have a technical interview over the phone.

Was asked questions about my resume and background.

Questions

There are 9 jars. 8 jars contain marbles, and each marble weighs 1 gram.

One jar contains marbles that weigh 1.1 grams.

With a scale that displays a number, how can you define which jar contains the 1.1-gram marbles with only one weighing?
