Process

LC medium interview. The interviewer didn't care at all. They gave a random question that wasn't based on the LC guide. I was able to solve it in 25 minutes. The rest of the time, I just asked questions, and they replied with two to five words. Very rude.

Questions

LC medium, I think. Maybe.
