Wait. I fail to understand why this counts as a reason for rejection. You attempted a solution, which the interviewer backed up (I assume if you were heading in a completely incorrect direction, he would have told you that), you showed quick thinking (connecting local maximas to the problem) as well as coding competence and basic testing knowledge.

Is this not what Twitter desires through its interviews?Because time and again I have heard that companies look and focus on people's thought processes more than their exact results.

PS: I'm a college student so I'm really keen to know how important being 100% accurate is.

This is slightly disturbing. If you're comfortable with it, could you elaborate on what happened to you? I have never heard of cases involving men.

I think you're confusing the joy of travel with a vacation. I believe the two to be very different things. India, the Middle East, China offer very different cultural experiences, and most people travel to take a glimpse of those experiences.

The crimes and experiences as highlighted in this article however are completely inexcusable.
