ou have 100 people standing in a line, each wearing either a black or white hat. Each person can see the hats of the people standing in front of them, but not their own hat or the hats of anyone behind them. Starting from the back of the line, each person is asked to announce the color of their own hat, and they can only say "black" or "white." How can you maximize the number of people who correctly guess the color of their hat?

The first team I interviewed with asked about: Computer architecture basics: Pipelines, branching and hazards, and hardware-based computer organization themed questions. The questions were along the lines of: 1) Tell me about the performance implications of a deep pipeline. 2) What do "volatile" and "virtual" mean in programming? 3) Define RISC vs. CISC differences. They also asked questions on course work in progress, completed, and projects listed on my resume. The second interview team was more behavioral, asking questions about projects and coding experiences.
