- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Interesting read, and quick to get through. Also, for me at least, the answer to the title question is totally no. My old nemisis math makes far too much of an appearance in the interview examples :)
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This audiobook is great! It doesn't matter whether you are looking for a job or not, you should keep up with these type of tricky questions. You never know when it will be useful.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5I found this book on sale for $4. It said it had insanely difficult puzzles. I bought it for those puzzles. It did not have those puzzles. It's mostly "somewhat-difficult"/"rather tedious" puzzles or questions that no one without a CS degree could dream of answering. Also comes with a hefty dose of preachy career-search advice. The solutions were nice, though.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This was a fun, insightful and creative book that really gets you thinking. It was fun to get a group of people together, read the question and sit back and listen to the answers. I won this from Goodreads.
