One question from graph theory, and one question about string manipulation and search
got a call from a quant guy who gave me two probability problems (tournament-related) and one algorithmic task:

Now you double the size of the original series with original data and do the regression with new \beta, t-stats
2. given an array of size n, find the fastest way to find maximum and minimum element.
One interviewer asked me to implement an iterator of iterators** and another asked me to write a method
that took a string and returned all of the missing letters that kept the string from being a pangram
