I got email from HR, and setup an phone interview in September, 2013. The phone interview is with a SDE from kindle team, he talked about 5 minutes about his job and team and start to ask some questions related with my previous projects, then as usual, we begin coding questions. How to find a number in a rotated array? which is pretty common
