Colloquio
I applied through my campus recruiting website. The interviewer was dressed casually and seemed very friendly. He asked me why I wanted the internship, then we jumped into probability questions, which took up most of the interview. When he could see that I was struggling with a question, the interviewer would sometimes give me hints. However, I don't think this helped with my chances.

I have a 12 sided die and you have a 20 sided die. We each get two rolls and we can each chose to stop rolling on either one of the rolls, taking the number on that roll. Whoever has the higher number wins, with the tie going to the person with the 12 sided die. What is the probability that the person with the 20 sided die wins this game?
Two or three probability/statistics brain teasers/problems that you have to solve. Topics include Markov Chains, EV, decision/game theory, branching processes, gambler's ruin, best decisions, optimisation. Interview with an actual quant.

Design an algorithm for when to replace a car at a car rental company
Was asked a general mathematical problem solving question - no personal details or anything else was discussed, was overall relatively easy and I imagine a fair amount of support would be offered if struggling.
