Just finished a YouTube onsite. I did well on 3 of them, struggled to come up with an overcomplicated(but creative) solution in another just to realize later there was a faster(O(n) -> O(logn)) simpler solution I couldn't see at the time, and think I did well enough on the last one(L5 interviewer) but it was an infinity/heuristics problem so it's hard to gauge. What are my chances?

This was for a frontend L3 role. Thanks!

Update 1: recruiter got back with some feedback. 2 hires, 1 leaning hire, 1 no hire, 1 pending

      When you say heuristics, are you referring to a*?

    For google do we need to come up with the most optimal solution ? Or will it work if we just come up with โ€œsomewhat โ€œ optimal soln ,(it would work for sure but not the best ). I am not able to understand how one can come up with a perfect optimal solution with O(n) in 20 - 25 min if we havenโ€™t heard of that already . Researchers took days to find an optimal soln for these .. so shouldnโ€™t they be more forgiving even if soln is not the best optimal ? Or am I just dumb !

      The idea is to get it right on the first attempt, and if not, get the semi optimal solution straightaway so you can work with the interviewer to make it optimal for the rest of the time.
