I'm sorry, is this actually an interview question that the notorious Jane Street asks?

This is leetcode easy, medium at best. Quite shocking to me to be honest, as I envisioned this firm as an exclusive bunch of snobbish elitists.

This is the first-round interview for students and new-grads. It's aimed at assessing your ability to work with others and explain technical concepts, not to trip you up
iirc, I was asked to write a copying GC. Another was to write a simpler version of Concurrent ML in ocaml. Then something about arbitrary precision math library. For some reason my brain froze on that one. Then some more Q I can’t recall. The questions were fairly difficult.
