I have been practicing leet code on and off for a bit. I understand all data structures and algorithms that these interviews supposed to cover. I can explain and teach these concepts to others.

But leet code questions are still riddles to me. I have also been watching videos of some famous programmers solving leet codes on YouTube and even they get stumbled and take almost an hour to solve some of these questions.

But once I have seen a solution and memorized general approach, I can solve it under 20 minutes. To me, leet code is more about memorization than actual problem solving skills.
