2,866 new grad software engineer interview questions shared by candidates

The main question the interview asked was a riddle/logic question about 5 pirates and 100 pieces of gold. The pirates were ranked and the master pirate (the pirate ranked # 1) was in charge of splitting up the 100 pieces of gold. The master pirate had to split up the gold in a way that the majority of the pirates agreed with him (the master pirate could vote as well). If the majority didn't agree, they would kill the master pirate and the next pirate in line would become the master pirate and have to split up the gold. The pirates are perfectly locigal.
