Question 1
You have 8 balls all identical in shape, size, appearance. All of the balls weigh the same except for one which is heavier. You have a triple balance beam and the ability to move only two balls. How do you find the heaviest ball without using more than two moves?
Only two rounds, straightforward, pain free, and they were very accommodating! Not many technical questions either; very focused on projects/experiences. Overall, very great experience with little difficulties whatsoever at all.
