in a dice roll game, each dice roll is worth its value in dollars (a 1 is worth 1 dollar, a 2 worth 2 dollars etc). I can have up to 3 rolls. Each roll I can either bank what I have or roll again but I cannot go back to a previous roll. I have up to 3 rolls. What is the value of this game? what about if I got 100 rolls?

The interview was dominated by CS-related questions, mostly based around algorithms. Max-subarray, problems involving a bisection-based solution, and concepts around sorting. In addition to that a short discussion about a small class hierarchy in C++ or other language in which it makes sense to do OOP. The whole thing was done purely over the phone which made communication considerably more difficult than expected (and amplified language barrier problems). One other problem based on Monte Carlo and some properties of the proposed estimator.
