Summary

I had a phone screen interview for Google L4, where I was asked a game theory problem involving card picking. Despite the problem being standard, I fumbled and do not expect to proceed to further rounds.

Interviewer asked this question:
A game theory question, where you are playing against another player and each player take turn picking one card or two cards, the cards can have negative or positive score. After the game has ended we need to take the difference of your score and the other players score. What is the maximum difference possible

IMO, pretty standard question but fumbled so hard, so definitely there wont be other rounds for me.
