I was given a ASCII-graph of weird pattern of 'X' and ' ' in disarranged boxes with time, and from a given position, I had to fill all the blanks by X for all those boxes. Till date I am not clear if the question was to write an algorithm to generate this pattern of 'X' or it was to fill the empty spaces with X from a starting point. When I asked the interviewer the same, he told "Yes" . What ?? :-).
