Breakdown of the interview:
0:00 Introduction
0:39 Say we have a 30-sided die, and this game involves 2 players, A and B. A will choose their number first, and then B will choose a different number. Now we’re going to roll the die. Whoever chooses a number which is closer to the number that the die rolls will win the amount of money that the die rolled. Would you like to be player A or player B?
1:04 The candidate asks clarifying questions
2:15 The candidate breaks down the question and starts brainstorming solutions
3:20 Our instructor analyzes the candidate's response to the first part of the question and points out what he did well
4:12 The interviewer asks the second question
4:45 The candidate walks through a hypothetical scenario to help him answer the question
13:00 Our instructor stresses the importance of being quick at arithmetic. Learn how to 10x your mental math speed with The Quant Guide course.
13:22 The interviewer introduces a different question. A is given 3 fair, 6-sided dice. B is given 2 fair, 6-sided dice. They’ll both roll all of their dice. If A’s greatest dice roll is greater than B’s greatest dice roll, then A wins $10 from B. Otherwise, B wins $10 from A. How much should A pay to play this game?
13:47 The candidate dissects the question and asks clarifying questions.
15:22 The candidate works through some examples and logically breaks the question down to answer the question effectively.
23:46 Our instructor breaks down the approach the candidate used and whiteboards the fundamental probability theory behind this question.
