My favorite was; write a function that determines the number of games necessary to be played in a single elimination tournament with N participants. It’s interesting to watch how many go off into recursion land when they get into the mind set of solving these Leet Code puzzles.

Could be chess.
Real nerds don’t compete, they program
N-1 games?
