Process

Microsoft came to my campus. The HR representative was very nice. She would send a candidate information form before the interview. The interview took about 30 minutes. The recruiter asked behavioral questions about the projects you worked on and team conflicts. Then, they administered an IQ test and a programming test.

Questions

Given 8 balls and one of them is heavier than the others, and also given you a balance, what is the minimum number of ways to find the heavier ball using the balance?
