The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Pocket Gems (San Francisco, CA) in Nov 2011

It was a fun interview. I met them at a Career fair and then game onsite for a day of 1 on 1 interviews.
Interview questions [4]
Question 1
You have a bucket of jelly beans. Some are red, some are blue, and some green. With your eyes closed, pick out 2 of a like color. How many do you have to grab to be sure you have 2 of the same?
Imagine an analog clock set to 12 o’clock. Note that the hour and minute hands overlap. How many times each day do both the hour and minute hands overlap? How would you determine the exact times of the day that this occurs?
Write a function that takes three integers corresponding to the lengths of sides and returns what kind of triangle can be made out of those 3 sides. (Equilateral, etc)
A solution consists of four balls from a set of four different colors. The user
tries to guess the solution.
If they guess the right color for the right
spot, record it as being in the correct ‘Location’. If it’s the right color,
but the wrong spot, record it as a correct ‘Color’. For example: if the
solution is ‘BGRR’ and the user guesses ‘RGYY’ they have 1 ‘Location’ and 1
‘Color’. A correct solution would be 4 ‘Location’ and 0 ‘Color’.
Write a program to, given a solution and a
guess, calculate the response that we present to the user.
I received an email from an HR after participating in an online competition. The first round was an online coding interview with an engineer from their team. I did not go beyond the telephonic round.

The interviewers were all super nice. They were willing to work together towards a solution when I needed some subtle hints. They were very polite, engaged and eager to chat.
