Round 4
Questions: The question was a Trie-based question, but the candidate could not find it anywhere.

The candidate provided a brute force solution but struggled to come up with the optimal solution even after hints from the interviewer.
Interviewer's Feedback
The candidate felt it was probably a "No Hire" or at most "Lean no hire".
