3,500 quantitative researcher intern interview questions shared by candidates

Mostly questions on statistics. No advanced knowledge is required but you have to be able to use the basics very well and apply them to 'quant type' problems. Some very random questions as well, e.g. what happened to oil price in 2020 april (went negative) and explain why

A fair coin is tossed 100 times to create a sequence of heads and tails. A participant is allowed to ask 1 yes or no question (e.g. was the first coin flip heads?), then plays a game where he tries to guess all 100 coins. The participant is awarded $1 for every coin guessed correctly, and loses $1 for each incorrect guess. Find and prove an optimal strategy.
