What would your coworkers say if asked to describe you?
"Basic" probability, statistics, and calculus questions. The questions could all have been solved with a brute-force method, but there was a time limit, so it was clear you were supposed to know some clever way of figuring out the answer quickly. The quick method was obvious for some questions and really not for others, and again would be much more obvious if intro stats and calculus were topics you used daily even years after completing the courses.
