Although I couldn't remember all the questions, I do remember two of them:

1. https://leetcode.com/problems/trapping-rain-water/description/
2. https://leetcode.com/problems/shortest-bridge/description/

The remaining questions were also of similar difficulties. In almost all questions, I wasn't given all details and was expected to gain clarity by asking questions, which took some time.

I also faced a situation with the Rain Water Trapping question where the Bar-raiser asked it in the last 25 minutes. He didn't even paste the problem statement; he just pasted an array and gave some vague verbal statement without providing the expected answer. I had to handle this, imagining and solving it in my mind, outlining brute-force to optimal solutions. I didn't even get time to touch pen and paper in any of my rounds.

Timeline for my rounds and offer: For all my rounds, the recruiter reached out to me the next day of the interview, with 2-3 days gaps for the subsequent rounds. Finally, after 2-3 days of my Bar-raiser round, I received the offer ✅.
