Most of the questions are repeated. The interviews are easy so not to worry much about it. 
It seems that the interviewers are given a fixed number of questions and they are asking most of the questions from that set only.
How long should I wait to get connected
Which extra space?
Okay i was storing it in an array… You’ve to take care of '2’s as well as it is a corner case

Wait for half an hour, they’ve stated it on their site, 1/2 hour interview, so wait, my interviewer joined about 14 minutes late.

Oh yeah, hmm , need to substract count of 2’s till then in case of current element being equal to 2 !
My interview was scheduled at 2 pm today.
I have been waiting for 2 hours now,
Did anyone else faced this issue ?

Nope, if your interviewer is not on time then I guess you should contact interviewbit immediately to schedule another interview. Remember today is the last day so make sure to give your interview by EOD.
Yes bro I contacted but no reply yet
Actually, only TA’s are interviewing.
And I don’t think any TA would be from GOOGLE 
If he would be from google then he would be a mentor or instructor.

Yeah.
I thought they would ask simple questions (this question is also of the easy category 
). I was not expecting this kind of question seriously after hearing interviews of others.
He gave me a hint then I was able to crack it completely. He said he will give good feedback. But I don’t think he will

Sorry, for the late reply.
x + s(x) + s(s(x)) = N. (N<=10^9)
So the value of s(x) can go from 1 to 81. (consider the case when all digits are ‘9’ i.e. 999999999).
Now, you got the range of s(x). If you have the range of s(s(x)) then you can just iterate the loop for only a few numbers and can verify the above equation for every number.
Now: 1<=s(x)<=81
range of s(s(x)) : 1<=s(s(x)) <=16 [ (s(x) can go from 1 to 81 then max sum of digits between 1 to 81 comes when s(x) = 79, now sum is 16 ].
Now you have range of s(x) + s(s(x)) = 81 + 16. You can iterate a loop from n-97 to n-1. This is the basic outline of the solution. You can check some corner cases like when n <97.
I don’t have any experience in writing solution 
So, formatting is not good.

Do you know?
What min package are they offering ?
They’ll tell the min CTC in the 1st week of the course, and you can decide whether you want to continue or leave the course
Lol why do you think he won’t give good feedback, if he said he will, he most probably will. Be positive.
I just read this yesterday that getting hard questions in interview is not a bad thing, because you are being judged with respect to number of people who can solve it, if it’s hard, the thought process is more important and all. BTW if limits on s(x) was the only optimisation, then question was easy. Never mind, good luck

Did you finally get to interview?
By any chance did you hear it from Gayle Lakman MacDowell, author of ‘Cracking the Coding Interview’?

@abhihacker02 lol I am so tensed from the morning just because of my interview and I just forgot about this thread . I am done with my interview and here I just get to know that one of the questions they asked were totally same . Question 1 they asked me completely same .Lol but still I code it… Hope I get selected
not yet… But they told me that they will reschedule the interview.
Lol i read it there
