drowsy ore Sep 29, 2025, 10:38 PM

#

1 question 60 mins?

lofty raft Sep 30, 2025, 2:56 AM

#

some code snippets at the beginning where they ask you what the time complexity is (10 ish minutes), then 1 lc question for the rest of the time

drowsy ore Sep 30, 2025, 3:07 AM

#

oh interesting

#

you think the remaining 45-50 mins is enough for the lc

lofty raft Sep 30, 2025, 3:11 AM

#

yeah, I think in general if you can't solve a question in 45 minutes you prob wouldn't be able to solve it in 10 hours either
