I am not sure that is always true, there are plenty of problems that are easy to state, but finding the "pattern" can be out of reach. Eg Collatz conjecture? However there are obviously a subset of problems I guess that can be solved once you realise what they are asking.
- sjg007 5y agoAre you suggesting that the Collatz conjecture is a valid interview question?
- rejectedandsad 5y agoIt is, it’s a fairly standard warmup interview problem. https://leetcode.com/discuss/interview-question/489169/Google-or-Phone-or-Decode-String-and-Collatz-Conjecture https://leetcode.com/discuss/interview-question/489169/Googl...
- foxes 5y agoProving it no one has any ideas, but generating the sequence given the input is definitely an interview style question.
