After floundering on the above question for a couple of minutes because you can't answer questions about the Kelly Criterion if you don't know what the Kelly Criterion is, I got this gem: You have daily total spending data for each of the 50 states for the last 3 years. Ie I know how much money changed hands in Montana, Nebraska, Utah, etc for every single day since Jan 1 2009. Design a strategy to make money. What statistical techniques would you use? What if the data is just random noise - can you really extrapolate? And so on and so forth.

Strengths/ weakness, what is your greatest accomplishment, tell me about something that other smart people disagree with you on and why. What is a broken process at your current job and what would you do to fix it? What do you think you could do to improve at Palantir? One of the of the on-site interviews focused on team interactions, how to manage conflict, deal with difficult people, when were you in a crisis and how did you act? How did you lead? How do you handle feedback, give it, and how would you react to negative feedback? How would you instruct a peer and mentor them? Tell me about a thankless job that you had? Who do you think are Palantir competitors? Case base question was fun, company X wants to share data with 3rd party vendors, what would they share and how would they do this (with an aim for increasing revenue).
