226 seismic interview questions shared by candidates

They asked a question about related rates. One of the questions was essentially a recursive algorithm question. One of the questions was a brain teaser about how to complete some task in the shortest number of steps. Overall, the interview felt random, considering that I have a doctorate and they ask me a random Cal 1 question to evaluate my capacity as a researcher.

Q1: A and B are flipping a coin. A flips first, and then B. What is the probability of A winning first? Q2: What is the volume of a cube inscribed in a sphere with radius 1? Q3: There are 25 horses, each of which runs at a constant speed that is different from the other horses. Since the track only has 5 lanes, each race can have at most 5 horses. If you need to find the 3 fastest horses, what is the minimum number of races needed to identify them?

Interview 1, Q3: A company wants to make 2880 teddy bears in a day, and they work 24 hours a day. There are three stations that the teddy bears go through. Station A takes 2 minutes per employee, station B takes 6 minutes per employee, and station C takes 4 minutes per employee. How many employees are needed at each station? If the teddy bears cost $20 to make and the employees are paid $15/hour, what price do they need to sell the teddy bears at to break even?
