The interview question is about a dice game. There are variations of the game, and we need to compare their expected values and variances, and choose which one should we participate in.
Went through 3 rounds of interview, all of which were focused on math. they started with basic questions and built up to harder ones. Also some behavioral questioins at the start of each round
