Software Interview Questions

551,308 software interview questions shared by candidates

One of the questions was asked by Ahmed Bashir, who (I later learned) was a Director level and the manager of the hiring manager. The question was as follows. You are given 25 horses. In each race only up to 5 horses can run and each race only reveals the ranking between the horses (i.e., we do not know the actual time). What is the minimum number of races you need to have in order to reveal the 3 fastest horses between the 25.
