Interview questions [3]
Question 1
You have 14 balls, and two buckets. 7 are red, 7 are white, find the best arrangement of balls that will give you the highest probability of picking a red ball.
You have 9 balls, equally big, equally heavy - except for one, which is a little heavier.
How would you identify the heavier ball if you could use a pair of balance scales only twice?
you have 25 horses, and you want to pick the fastest 3 horses out of those 25. In each race, only 5 horses can run at the same time because there are only 5 tracks. What is the minimum number of races required to find the 3 fastest horses without using a stopwatch?
I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Laserfiche (Long Beach, CA) in Dec 2016
Interview
I applied online. The process took 2-3 weeks. I interviewed with them in person at Long Beach, CA
Quickly scheduled an on-site after their written challenge where I met the Director and someone else who was probably a manager of another team along with 2 other junior guys. They seemed like they were being forced to interview me and probably made up their minds within minutes that I'm not Chinese so lets get this over with and get him out of here. Director was pretty rude throughout the interview acting disinterested and smirking at my answers in machine gun fashion, taking notes on his laptop. They then made me go through the acrobatics with brain teasers, most of which I got, some with hints. Director would get up and point out things to me acting as if they were obvious (i'm sure they were to him as he had seen the questions). They seemed very arrogant throughout the whole process, like they sit around doing puzzles like these all day. On the last one they gave me a "pity challenge" to solve the last one because I was on the "right track." I could tell instantly this was simply to feign some fake interest in me. Nonetheless, I responded back within one hour with the complete solution I've listed all of them below.
After I left, I never heard from anyone there again. Overall, a big waste of time. No feedback until I specifically emailed back asking for a response- trying to save themselves some legal troubles from their utter nonsense, biased interview process. "Enthusiastic and friendly" recruiter seemingly disappeared from the face of the Earth. If you're from an Ivy League or good school, save yourself the trouble and interview with a real technology company and brand. Don't go through this bs.
Why would anyone go through this?
People overall seemed miserable and unhappy. Interview mill with no real need, probably internally filled positions and interviews are most likely legal cover for EOE commission action.

Question 1
You have 2 buckets and 14 balls 7 red and 7 blue, how would you maximize the probability of drawing a red ball?
You put 1 red ball in one bucket, and the other 6 red balls in the other bucket with the 7 blue balls. The probability is around 74%
You have 8 balls with one heavier than the rest, what's the minimum number of weighs needed to determine the heaver ball on a scale? Split up the balls into groups of 3 as this group you can determine the heavier ball with one weighing. So if you start with the group of 3 and 3 then you simply need 2 weighing at most, else it's also 2 if you have to check the remaining 2 balls as the scale would be even with 3 balls.
You have 25 horses how do you race 5 at a time to determine the fastest one?Hold 5 races of 5 groups to determine the fastest in each group, then race the winner to get first (race 6). Have the 2nd place winner of group one and 3rd place of group one race the second place winner in the next race you should determine 2nd and 3rd place in this fashion overall. Elimination 6 or 7 races needed.
