The interview question back then, no. But I remember the solution so I could solve this robot problem quickly :-)

They might just work because they make it easy to eat less - very simple rule to follow that rules out most unhealthy snacking.

That interview question seems related to the "how to detect loops in a potentially infinite list" question which I was asked at least once.

Since the context was missing, don't take it so personal. It wasn't clear that the kids originally grew up in that far away place. All I said is "it sounds xyz", it's not an eternal judgment.

Unfortunately, that quickly leads into fashist territory (eugenics)...

If only they could send unwanted girls from India to China.

I don't quite understand the rage. Doesn't the service agreement comment on the time it might take? I remember from Dell there were different kinds of packages you could buy. Because I bought some business laptop once, they actually dispatched a technician to my office and fixed the problem on the spot. If you need that kind of service level, you simply have to pay for it.

They don't mention any kind of blind? Maybe the kids just improved because they were receiving attention...
