Was contacted to a do a phone interview with them. Spoke to a trader for about 30 minutes, he was pleasant. Asked a few general questions about my interest, a time I overcame adversity, etc. as well as a few quantitative questions. Never heard back from them at all after about a month.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
If you have three children and ten candy bars, how many ways can you divide that candy bars up between them?
The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Wolverine Trading (Chicago, IL) in Jan 2012
Interview
I had two phone interviews with Wolverine Trading. The first was a general discussion of my background and resume. The second interview consisted of logic puzzles and more specific questions. The interviewers were willing to tell jokes with me and talk about culture of the firm. The second interviewer was younger and seemed more serious.
You have three barrels. One barrel is filled with apples, one with oranges, and one with both apples and oranges. Each barrel is mislabeled. You can take out as many fruit as you like form each barrel and look at it. What is the minimum number of fruits you need to remove to correctly label the barrels?
You are blindfolded and sitting at a table with 100 quarters. Ten of the quarters are tails-up and 90 are heads up. You wish to separate the quarters into two piles, each with the same number of tails. You can flip as many as you like and the piles don't need to be the same size. How do you do it?
