- How to make the most of an interview problem that you can’t solve I’m assuming asking for hints is going to be helpful. But how can I carefully ask for a hint without seeming utterly lost. This can be especially true for questions that have some kind of “aha/gotcha” moment that’s required to solve them.

- Google/Amazon onsite interview in a couple of weeks Freaking out. Have done like 90 LC, mostly mediums and some hards, but I feel like I barely improved. I can solve probably 60% of mediums in 45 minutes unless it requires some sort of weird aha moment or insight, which seems like I either get it in 5 mins or don't. Hards take way longer or basically

- Did you learn how to solve problems with LC grind or just how to answer LC questions? Currently grinding for interviews. What I've found is that I can rarely (fully) solve a medium/hard if it's the first time I've seen it, but after I review the solution, it's pretty clear.
