I went through the initial TripleByte process earlier this year but was rejected. I passed the initial multiple choice programming test, but I failed miserably at the 1 hour programming exercise. I actually found the problem to be one of the more difficult algorithm type problems I've encountered in an interview situation. I am curious if the problems chosen by Triplebyte are representative of the typical types of questions for YC company interviews? I can't imagine they all have identical pre-screening processes, so how do you choose representative problems?
