Quant Trading Interview Questions

Those that have been through the quantatative trading recruiting process, what are some good questions that you’ve gotten in interviews? I understand that these interviews are the most likely to have oddball questions that test random math and logical thinking capacities. Any really good questions that have stuck out to you?

Wasn’t for a trading role but I could see this as a problem in the non lightning round portion of a trading interview. I thought it was a fun problem: https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/206668/classic-hand-shake-question
