Process

TPS.

Solved the problem in probably 20-25 minutes. The rest of the time was spent "optimizing" the solution to cater to a really smart, rude, and naive interviewer.

Instead of focusing on how to improve space complexity or the algorithm itself, I think they are focusing on how good, artsy data structure(s) you can come up with. (Interviewer hints to use a hashmap of lambda functions is easier to use over plain simple pattern matching).

This is termed as "collaborative" engineering culture, I guess. Be aware!
