Interviewed Aug 2009 (took 3 weeks)

That was my first phone intervew. Inteviewer introduced himself first, and asked to introduce my experience, and what challenges I had in my work. Quickly we got into the technical questions. The first one is to find if there are pairs of numbers in a list which can be added up to a target number. The second one is about multithreading. Just basic concepts.
