was this phone round?

[rigid plover]

Sorry to hear this. Was this the phone round?

[undone dew]

yeah it was after the phone

[rigid plover]

Did you like provide the heap solution nlogk and they didn't accept it or did they let you code first and then asked you how would you optimize it?

[undone dew]

I provided the heap solution and they seemed fine, they didn't really say anything at all

I know for a fact it would've been that question because the first was a tagged easy

and I finished it asap

[rigid plover]

Ah shit that's worst, atleast they could have like asked you in the follow ups or something to give you a chance

[undone dew]

yeah this honestly took me kinda by surprise

[languid harness]

The hell @undone dew quick select?!?

[rigid plover]

Exactly my thought tbh QuickSelect seems like a fancy solution and to do in 20 minutes is quite challenging

[languid harness]

Meanwhile I get #1 tagged dont even solve and get final

🤦‍♂️

[rigid plover]

😳

Well you give me hope

[languid harness]

Trust me lmao its whack rng

[rigid plover]

I have mine tomorrow and to learn the most optimal solutions of even top 20 is quite challenging. I can do like sub optimal but optimal is just god damn hard

Like quickselect then doing pow with log n + without recursion is all nightmare

[rigid plover]

So your first one was #1 was your second one also from top 20? 😂

[languid harness]

my second was 4/4 top 20

🤡 and i solved them all clown

[rigid plover]

Wait you mean for your final you got all 4 questions from top 20? 😳

[languid harness]

yes.

i wiffed

[rigid plover]

BRUH

[languid harness]

I did them the night before

and I blanked

I would have got rockstar if i had 2 brain cells

I aced 2/3 rounds

3rd round I just completly tweaked

[rigid plover]

And was your phone round also from top 20????

[languid harness]

Phone was top 1 tagged

[rigid plover]

So one was tagged but what about the other one? There are 2 questions right?

[languid harness]

the other wasn't tagged but it was a single loop

LMFAO

[rigid plover]

Omfg

[cloud badger]

the RNG variation in phone questions are so big... my phone was 2 lc easy's

[regal meteor]

I got one easy and one hard 😭

And now I have to do a “follow up”

[undone dew]

yup the optimal was quick select 💀

Just bad rng in the end oh well
