Software Engineer Interview Experience - Bellevue, Washington

July 1, 2021
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

Passed the first-round screener with the recruiter, where I was asked logic puzzle questions.

I was told they would set up time for the next interview.

After being strung along for two months, I was informed that the job opening was closed.

Questions

There are three crates of fruit. One of them has apples in it, one has oranges in it, and the last one has both apples and oranges in it.

You can see that one of the crates is labeled "A" for apples, another is labeled "O" for oranges, and the third is labeled "A+O" for both apples and oranges.

All the labels are incorrect. You may pick one crate and have a fruit pulled from it.

How can you determine—without a doubt—which crate has apples, which one has oranges, and which one has both?
