      Programmer/Physics Simulation Interview

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Epic Games

      Interview

      Applied online and got a questionnaire for at home. I worked on that for a few days. Some of it was programming, some was reasoning and answering in essay style. I submitted it and shortly after that they declined. I never actually talked to anyone. They didn't give me a deadline and didn't say what their criteria were. After I submitted my answers and realized I could improve them I asked if I may do that, they said sure, I sent them an update, then they said they generally don't accept revisions. While I don't expect anyone to accept revisions they could have just told me that.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      They had a mix of technical and the weird type of manhole cover questions. I found the questions geared towards tripping you up. One question seemed to indicate a binary search, but that turned out to be the wrong approach. You have two XBoxes and a 100 floor building. If you drop the XBox from a floor it either shatters or it doesn't. How do you reliably find the highest floor from which you can drop your XBox? Both XBoxes can break in the process. How many trials does your approach take in the worst case?
