Given a set of csv files with a bunch of random movie data from different places (which have different record structures / different columns), try to match those movie records from one place / csv file to another. Although, the only requirement literally states "make the test pass" - which only needs you to basically match at least one record. Stupid.

They asked me a high order retry function. It takes a function as an argument, returns whether or it failed. If it fails N(in this case 3) number of retries, it returns the fail and error. If it was successful it returns the result as well. Default arguments where you could pass in your own arguments for number of retries was optional.
