Typical “tell me about a time” questions you hear everywhere else. When answering be detailed. Tell them about the situation, your behavior/action and what the outcome. Do not answer as a hypothetical question (what you would do), but with details of a situation you actually addressed (what you did). The interviewers thanked me for giving specific situations. And there were NO math questions asked during the interview process (only during the online assessment when you originally applied).
